Hi Matt if you are talking about the yellow base coat ...I usually use a mix of Tamiya's XF59 and XF60 and some white added to lighten the color a bit ... It gives a pretty good base color ...



hope this helps

Matt,
It took me awhile to find this page which is on this site.

file:///%20Military%20Modeling/Reference/afv%20color%20schemes.php.html

It has good info on German color schemes as they changed over the war. It does not give 595 FS colors but does have RAL.

Hope this helps,
Don
