                        Hello,

                        I'm starting my Revell 1/72 HMCS Snowberry and I would like to know if anyone has a good formula for mixing Tamiya paints to match those colours- I'm not having luck finding anything on the net. I know there is a Lifecolour set, but I'd prefer to use Tamiya paints if possible.

                         

                        Thanks,

                         

                        Rob

                        Hi, this doesn't answer the question, but the info might be helpful, esp. from John Snyder.

                        I know that really doesn't help with the mixing of Tamiya.

                        I believe I used Tamiya "Sky"  XF-21 and Tamiya Light Blue XF-23 on my 72nd scale Snowberry, and  that was some years ago.   Or use those as a base to mix.  It shouldn't be too hard.    Those colors worked well for me.
