Hi guys..
I know about the never ending discussions about colors,but..
My local dealer sells following brands: Vallejo, Lifecolor, Humbrol.

What i need is a good looking RLM79 (sandbrown) for my Marseille´s bf 109F-4 trop.

For the 2-tones camo i bought Lifecolor´s RLM78 UA062 which looks very good, but their RLM79 UA137 looks too bright for me, when sprayed it looks almost a little bit pinky.

Anyone has tried out to get a good 78/79 camo out from this brands i mentioned?

Hi,

I don't know about Humbrol or Lifecolor, but I did use Vallejo 034 Sandy Brown for a desert hunter once, and I'm satisfied with the color. You can see the result below and judge for yourself.

No, the RLM78 is Polly Scale F505318 "GER. RLM 78 LT. BLUE". The Vallejo 71101 RLM78 is somewhat lighter, which I think may be a good thing. I will try the Vallejo RLM78 for my next desert bird.
