Vietnam era camo paint colors

Tamiya is really good for IJA and IJN colors.

The Vietnam era paints used by the USAF faded much faster than current paints.

Most major paint brands, except Tamiya, have the Air Force SEA colors in their paint lines, enamel or acrylic. If you absolutely must use Tamiya, you will either have to mix them, or go with closest approximation out of the bottle.

here are a few of the "paint sets" for those four colors, I have all of these except for the one marked with an **

someone posts a Tamiya mix ratios link sometimes, I don't have that saved,,,,,,,,maybe they will see this and post it for you

but, so far, you have 5 sets of paint ranges and the bottle numbers and names

Not sure Tamiya has these colors. They probably have to be mixed. Hopefully someone on here has the ratios. All I know is Gunze's equivalent, which are:

FS 36622: H311

FS 34079: H309

FS 30219 H310

FS 34102 H303
