Doogs, "diluted 837" is the Model Color, diluted to act like Model Air

Yeah, I did notice that Air did not seem to have a color that matches,,,,,,,,I use some of all four Vallejo paint lines here, plus LifeColor,,,,,,,in order to get a "full set" of colors that I need

There's a Model Color - think it's called Light Stone or something similar. Tonally very close to Deck Tan, perhaps a touch darker, but a few drops of white would get it really close. I use it for painting harness belts...can check out the exact name/number when I get home tonight.

I looked at the Vallejo chart and there's no Air color corresponding to Deck Tan. I guess I'll hunt down Deck Tan or dilute 837.

this might help

I clicked the Tamiya chart, looked at Deck Tan, then went back and clicked the Model Color chart,,,,,it looks like 837 or 917 would be close

looking here,,,,,,I don't see a close color in the Air line, just the Model Color line,,,,,,,there are also the Game and Panzer lines to look through

I can't seem to get the Model Paint Database to load,,,,,,I think it has both the Vallejo and Tamiya ranges, which would give a one to one comparison
