I am building a 1/16 R/C Tamiya Tiger 1 and I want to dry brush
some areas on it such as hatch handles, fender hindges, etc..
Any advise on on a paint color to use. The base is Tamiya XF-60
Dark Yellow.
Thanks!

Hello Mate, What you need to do is get some of your base coat yellow add a touch of white, drybrush let it dry and see what you think if your not happy add a touch more white and repeat the process, dry brushing is a personnal thing, when your happy its right. if you do the three colour scheme just lighten each colour. just a point if you do allied vehicles which are Olive drab add yellow to it or even better ochre which is one of its base colours. Another tip if the dry brushing looks too bright you can tone it down with a wash, in your case a dark yellow one or even mid brown. Hope this helps.
