Hello Armorama People...

This is just my second post here but I have been a frequent visitor of this site for more than a year now. And I can say that I have learned a lot about modeling by reading articles and forum postings on this wonderful site.

I have a Tamiya JGSDF Type 90 tank that is already assembled and just waiting for a paint job. However, I can't get hold of the two paint color that Tamiya has specified [ XF-72 Brown (JGSDF) & XF-73 Dark Green (JGSDF) ]. I am wondering what other color can I use as a substitute? Can I just mix other Tamiya paint to come up with the correct color? Does it have an equivalent color in Gunze Sangyo?

Thanks a lot for any information you guys can provide.
