Does anyone have a decent mix for Tamiya acrylics for the 'Red Oxide' Primer?

Or is Tamiya XF 64 red brown pretty close?

Thanks

Tamiya Hull Red (XF-9) is a good choice. Its darker to begin with and it's easier to "lighten" with washes and/or drybrushing.

Here it is in use on a Sturmtiger interior I was working on a while ago:



Hope this helps you out.

Cheers !!
