cheers soulassassin much appreciated mate, if you cant get any tamiya desert yellow the dark yellow is OK but to take out the green tint put in a bit of flesh that works fine,l, as for the green NATO green and for the brown flat brown are also good colors, trying to match German colors is nigh on impossible as the paints came in big tins and were diluted with water or fuel etc, so you could go from a black/green too a light pea green, i used these color paints on my tiger and i think they worked out ok........
