good quality earth brown
Good dark dirt colored acrylic paint. Tamiya recommended it for a WWII U.S. soldier’s pants, but I think you could also use it as part of the camo scheme for RAF brown and green camouflage scheme. The smaller pots aren’t as good of a value as the ¾ oz., but they are still worth it if you’re not planning on using it a lot. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side, but thins well with water (though Tamiya also makes an acrylic thinner that is better), and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 3-4 coats. Although, I have just used it straight out of the pot, and I got fairly good results. Very good paint.
Best model paint by far
Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.
a must have color
Nice earth tone for accent of mud or dirt, was able to thin it very heavy to achieve desired tint
