Bonjour tout le monde! Good morning everybody!
i’ll start a new project soon, this is the Academy F-14 and i would like to know if there is a “recipe” of color mixing with the to little ([banghead]to my opinion) Tamiya brand paint. I don’t want to use enamel and spray can(airbrush only cause i want to keep the control of the paint) and i don’t have access to Gunze brand paint. In other word i want (and i have ) use only acrylics from Tamiya to get the proper colors for an F-14 So if this magical recipe exist do you want to share with us please ?

Merci beaucoup Thank you very much

I think XF20 is too brown. If you like you can probably mix XF20 with XF19 until you think the color is just right. In the end, it all boils down to what you yourself think about your own model.
