From the article by Zaloga quoted by Etranger:"Basically, the only colour that comes close to the wartime colour is the Tamiya acrylic XF62, with the Poly Scale acrylic a distant second. Two colours fell for the old FS-595A snag, Gunze Sangyo and Model Master which are too light and vivid for wartime Olive Drab. The two Model Master paints intended to represent AN 613 dark Olive Drab are both too grey for the army colour. Humbrol 155 is too green for US Olive Drab."The closest colour to Olive Drab is RAL 7013.
No problem!! I disagree with you too, I beg your pardon!!And sorry for hijacking the thread, but I love colour discussions.Milo.
Indeed he does. I respectfully disagree.
FWIW I also use H155 which look close to the Tamiya Color IMHO! Zaloga also mixed his Tamiya US OD with their dunkelgelb 2:! at one point, but seems to have changed his mind about that recommendation somewhere along the way.
