Martin P. Sanford If I may, I'd like to pitch my mix for this: Dark Earth
4 Parts XF 52 Flat Earth
2 Parts XF 3 Flat Yellow
1 Part XF 51 Khaki Drab
1 Part XF 2 Flat White
Note on RAF Dark Earth:
If you choose to lighten this mix for RAF Dark earth for scale effect, be aware that XF-52 has a strong red component to it; we recommend not using XF-2 Flat White exclusively to lighten this mix because it will make your Dark Earth turn pink. Instead, use more warm colors to lighten this, such as XF-3 or XF-59, which will result in a more appropriate effect.

Note: there are many possible variations of Dark Green from Tamiya acrylics; here are several for your consideration. XF-81 was developed at the time Tamiya released their 1/32 Spitfire IX series; It's a fairly good starting point.

Nice job on a Classic aircraft
