Okay, i jhave a 1/48 Scale Tamiya Mozzie (FB Mk VI).

The instructions say to use AS8, 9 and 10 for the 3 colour camoflage scheme - but this invlolves buying £18 of paint for one kit.

I already have the full range of XF Tamiya acrylics - can anyone tell me what the equivalent XF colours are to the AS sprays?

Cheers

Tamiya has released those colors in the XF range in bottles, which can be airbrushed on, XF81 Dark Green (RAF), XF82 Ocean Grey (RAF), and XF 83 Medium Sea Grey (RAF).

Hope that helps.

I would think you will need XF81 Dark Green, XF82 Ocean Grey and XF83 Medium Sea Grey.
