Tamiya color mixing chart?
Posted by Killjoy on Monday, August 2, 2010 6:57 PM

I found reference on another forum to a color mixing chart for Tamiya paints, done by a gentleman named Dana Nield.  It has ratios of mixing two or more Tamiya paints to get specific colors that are not available in the current range.  I have seen a few examples Quoted, such as:

RLM 71 Dunkelgrun - Wartime splinter scheme:
Tamiya XF62:1 + XF49:1

Sadly, it seems his web page with all the data is no longer active.  Does anyone know of a similar resource?  I have several different links that will tell you the FS of a color, and it's comparable matches among different manufacturers.  I am specifically looking for ratios for mixing Tamiya paints.

Thanks to anyone who helps me track down this elusive pink squirrel!

That's a good start!  I guess the one I was refering to has alot of RLM colors on it and so on.  Thanks for the chart you linked, that's very helpful!
