The Warthogs that I've seen in the news and over on ArmyTimes are all painted gray. What manufacturer and paint color (or mix of a few colors) is best to duplicate this color?
I like to run Tamiya paints through my airbrush- so are any Tamiya colors a match?
Spray cans?- for anyone who is thinking the same as me, but does not have an airbrush?
Thanks,
Peter

Tamiya does not have an exact match for either of those 2 grays in the camo scheme. Testors MM does.
Testors MM #1728 - FS36375 - Lt. Ghost Gray
Testors MM #1741 - FS36320 - Dk. Ghost Gray
Here are the recipes for Tamiya equivalents:
Lt Ghost Gray = 15:XF2 Flat White + 3:XF24 Dk Gray + 2:XF66 Lt Gray
Dk. Ghost Gray = 11:XF66 Lt Gray + 7:XF2 Flat White + 2:XF24 Dk Gray
Testors MM #1728 - FS36375 - Lt. Ghost Gray
Testors MM #1741 - FS36320 - Dk. Ghost Gray
Here are the recipes for Tamiya equivalents:
Lt Ghost Gray = 15:XF2 Flat White + 3:XF24 Dk Gray + 2:XF66 Lt Gray
Dk. Ghost Gray = 11:XF66 Lt Gray + 7:XF2 Flat White + 2:XF24 Dk Gray
