Re: paint question

Yes, Tamiya occassionally requires you to mix paints in order to get the right color. Just pay attention to the ratio and it should turn out fine.

example, for XF-55:4+X-6:1 you would add 4 parts Deck Tan (XF-55) to 1 part Orange (X-6)

Re: paint question

And if there's no ratio stated, it's equal parts of each color.
