Tamiya Acrylic Question about german yellow.

As I noted inyour other thread, these colors are not matched to anything. Better to invest in Model Master which are matched to specific colors.

Also this takes care of the acrylics vs. enamels question, as with Testors MM paints you can use either or both on the same subject with no discompatibility or chemical reaction concerns.

I've always heard the Tamiya's XF-60 Dark Yellow is supposed to be quite close to what the Germans generally used.

As long as you allow proper curing, you can use enamels over acrylics and vice versa.  In fact, when you're applying washes or brush painting, it is often advantageous to use the opposite of what is underneath so what you are painting/washing with won't dissolve the under coat.
