                        Unless you airbrush the figures, Tamiya paint is not really suited to this task. They just don't brush well. Here are some photographic examples of field grey equipment.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        Vallejo and Andreas are your best bet in terms of brushable acrylics.

                        I like Polly Scale also. Model Master acrylics are ok. The RAF/RN camoflage color Slate Grey is also a good option for Field Gray with a slight tonal difference. Some makers darker RLM Gray is good for a faded look.
