Hmm, haven't seen anything on the Tamiya side, but PolyScale makes a "Dirty White" that's on the ivory side. Not sure if that brand is available to you, though.

The method that I last employed to get a mix of the this colour that I was pleased with was to mix some Tamiya white and a touch of desert yellow with some deck tan. I cannot remember the amounts of each but I just played with the colours until my eye was pleased.
Hope this helps,
John

White Ensign do a panzer interior cream in their own range of paints.

lol check out the PM. MM makes panzer interior buff enamel(2104), pretty darn good match for the Bovington restoration, with maybe a slight lightening for scale effect. I thought you were going with enamels? They make it in Acryl too(4805). Its a semi-gloss finish.

Thank you very much Kevin(for both your messages !
I'm done with enamels!!!No more enamels!!I couldn't find the Tamyia you told me about and i followed another advice from a fellow modeler.
He told me about Humbrol112(TARMAC!!!!!!)and i used it.
Results-
I'm trying to take the paint out now and believe me It's not that easy with enamels!! ..I've ruined a project i've been working on for 2 months now!!
Thanks again Kev

Byt the way Kevin,is there a non spray TS32??I can't find it anywhere.I'm ordering it from Hannants now but I have to change over 70 Humbrol paints and i'm looking to replace them with bottled ones.It'seems easier to find them here!

What happened with the paint? I have always used enamels but use acrylics for some projects. Enamels always seem easier to use, at least to me.... The TS32 USN Haze grey should be available at any hobby store that sells Tamiya paint products.

First of all the color was too dark but that would have been easy to correct if it was the only problem!
My airbrush just a few seconds before i finish made a big fat splash of a nice mix of water and thick paint all over the hull!!!Total disaster
I finally managed to clean it up today and now i'm waiting for the TS32 from hannants.There is a single store that imports and sells Tamiya products here and he is kind of an
He tried to convince me that there is no such paint anywhere....even after i told him about the on-line order....!!!
He is one of the oldest modeler-shop owners in greece and the only one who can inport Tamyia........
Funny thing though,i've been waiting for the new orders he said he placed for a year and a half now!! !!!! :-) :-) :-)
