Hi Guys and Girls

I am just about to start the Eduard 1/48 combo set of the Fokker Eindecker, I just wanted to know of a mix in acrylic for the CDL colour or an acrylic from the pot that I can use through an airbrush and with the brush. I am in the UK as well, as I know some are available in UK that are different makes in the US.

Failing that I will mix in enamel if I can........

Thanks in advance

Dave

Wingnuts state Tamiya Deck Tan (XF-55) which is a reasonable shade but I prefer Citadels bleached bone as this is a slightly warmer tone.

Citadel paints can be thinned quite happily with Tamiyas white capped thinner (X-20a ?)

The Citadel paints also meet your requirement for being able to brush as well as AB

Just my two cent's worth,i'm a proffesional artist and i find that yellow ochre with a touch of black to darken and white to lighten creates most shades of linen from factory fresh to active service
