IPMS DAYTON tamiya mixes

These recipes have been collected from various sources around the web and Tamiya instructions.  There are duplicates in the list and sometimes they conflict with each other. So... you're mileage may vary.  Some of these are probably older mixes and new color releases have superseded the need for that particular color mix. 


LUFTWAFFE
RLM 02--> XF22:1 + XF49:1 or just XF-22
RLM 65--> XF23:1 + XF2:1
RLM 71--> XF62:1 + XF49:1
RLM 74--> XF24:3 + XF27:2
RLM 75--> XF24:5 + XF50:1
RLM 76--> XF2:7 + XF23:1 + XF66:2
RLM 79--> XF59:3 + XF64:1
RLM 80--> XF58
RLM 81--> XF51:1 + XF64:2
RLM 82--> XF5 or XF5:1 + XF2:1 or XF5:1 +XF3:1 (Bright Green)
RLM 83--> XF61 or XF24:1 + XF51:1 or XF24:1 +XF51:1 (Dark Green)

Tamiya instruction sheets: 
LUFTWAFFE 

RLM 02:- XF22:1 + XF49:1 or just XF-22 
RLM 65:- XF23:1 + XF2:1 
RLM 70: XF27 
RLM 71:- XF62:1 + XF49:1 
RLM 74:- XF24:3 + XF27:2 
RLM 75:- XF24:5 + XF50:1 
RLM 76:- XF2:7 + XF23:1 + XF66:2 
RLM 79:- XF59:3 + XF64:1 
RLM 80:- XF58 
RLM 81:- XF51:1 + XF64:2 
RLM 82:- XF5 or XF5:1 + XF2:1 or XF5:1 +XF3:1 (Bright Green) 
RLM 83:- XF61 or XF24:1 + XF51:1 (Dark Green) 
RLM 78:- XF-23:4 and XF-50:1 


From other modelers: 

RLM 71 XF 61 Dark Green Straight 


RLM 78 is a close match to FS 35414. Use Tamiya XF23 light blue and add white. I think the formula I have is 3 parts XF23 to 1 part XF2. 


RLM 02: XF22:1 + XF49:1 + XF2:2 
RLM 65: XF23:2 + XF2:1 
RLM 66: XF24 Straight from the bottle. 
RLM 70: XF27 Straight from the bottle. Add a drop of black to darken if desired. 
RLM 71: XF62:1 + XF49:1 or XF61:3 + XF2:1 or XF81 straight from the bottle. 
RLM 74: XF24:3 + XF27:2 
RLM 75: XF24:5 + XF50:1 
RLM 76: XF2:7 + XF23:1 + XF66:2 
RLM 78: XF23:4 + XF50:1 
RLM 79: XF59:3 + XF64:1 
RLM 80: XF58:6 + XF2:1 
RLM 81: XF51:1 + XF64:2 OR Dunkelgrun = XF61:4 + XF2:1 (FS34096) 
RLM 82: XF5:1 +XF3:1 (Bright Green) 
RLM 83: XF5 Straight from the bottle. 


RAF:
INTERIOR GREEN---> XF5:1 + XF21:3 + XF65:1
DARK GREEN--> XF58:1 + XF62:5
DARK EARTH--> XF52:1 + XF64:1
OCEAN GRAY--> XF18:1 + XF21:2 + XF24:2
MIDSTONE------> XF59:1 + XF60:1
SKY----------------> XF21:1 + XF2:1.5 (from Roy Sutherland)
MED. SEA GRAY--> XF19:3 + XF54:5
AZURE BLUE---> X16:2 + XF2:10 + XF18:5



FAA COLORS
Extra Dark Sea Grey: To 50 parts of XF24 (dark grey), add 6 parts XF2 (white), and 3 parts XF8 (flat blue). (Thanks to Roy Sutherland for this recipe)

Dark Slate Grey: To one bottle of XF22 (RLM Grey), add 35 drops of XF7 (red), and 125 drops of XF1 (flat black). or T:XF-11 + 63? (Thanks to Roy Sutherland for this recipe)


"RLM Grey" (XF-22) is a good match for "Slate Grey", used for RAF Coastal Command finishes, as well as Fleet Air Arm colors.


"Dark Sea Grey" (XF-54) is a good match for "Dark Sea Grey," used for Coastal Command and FAA camouflages. This is also good for the US "Equivalent Color" for "Ocean Grey" ANA 603, used on Mustang IIIs, etc.

'"RLM Gray" (XF-22) for "Slate Grey"

“Light Sea Grey” (XF-25) for "Light Sea Grey" 

"Sky" (XF-21) - I think this is the most accurate version of this color.

"Sky Grey" (XF-19) is perfect for the "Sky Grey" color used on FAA aircraft before they went with the "Sky" lower surfaces, also for the US "Equivalent Color" used for ANA 602

"Medium Grey" (XF-20) is good as "Sea Grey Medium," the lower surface camouflage for RAF aircraft after 1941. 



Here are Tamiya mixes to reproduce some Federal Standards (FS) Colors.
Last updated: 2012-08-11



The hyperlink included with the colors sends you to the Federal Standard 595 Color Server website to give you an idea of how the colors look.

The mix ratios are by parts, i.e. XF2:1 means XF2 Flat White 1 part (1 drop or 1 gallon, the mix stays the same)

Warning: Several mixes I've tested myself (those with an *) but most of them come from Tamiya instructions, articles found in magazines and the web. I find them good but these are in no way definitive. They serve as a general guide that you can modify to taste.

Scale effect: for those who believe, the smaller the scale, the lighter the colors. Thes mixes are formulated for 1/32 but you can add XF2:1 for 1/48 or XF2:2 for 1/72 as a start. Lighten to taste.
