I m ready to color my new version of hemmt and I want to color it on desert scheme.
I m planning to use Buff XF57 with 10-20% of white XF15.
Somebody agreed about this way or there are different better ways. Consider that I use only acrilic color.
Thank you in advance for the comment

Testors Model Master Sand, FS#33531, is an exact match for modern CARC Sand as applied to current US vehicles. It comes in both enamel and acrylic.

It sounds like you already have Tamiya paint. Try 1 part Buff (XF -57) to two parts white (XF-15).

Pierluigi,
Check your paint numbers.
Tamiya XF-15 is FLESH colour not white.

Tom is right. Tamiya flat white is XF-2.
