RLM colors with Tamiya Acrylics
Posted by pulga on Friday, December 26, 2008 3:35 PM

Hi people, first of all MERRY CHRISTMAS to all

 Now the question: searching in the forum I've found a conversion chart of RLM to Tamiya the problem is I don't understand the conversion for the RLM83, they say

RLM 83:- XF61 or XF24:1 + XF51:1 or XF24:1 +XF51:1 (Dark Green)

so wich colors to mix XF24 or XF61 or the XF61 is a good match for the RLM83?

ipmsstockholm.org indicates that RLM83 should be FS34138 which is Tamiya XF26 Confused [%-)]

Thanks

For RLM 83, you can use XF61 or XF26, as there have been some disagreement (even amongst paint manufacturers) as to whether RLM 82 or 83 were light/medium or dark green, or vice versa.

The alternate you also listed (a 50/50 mix of XF24 + XF51) could also be used if you wanted.
