My favorite paints are Tamiya. I like the precise color matching of AK, Mig, etc. but I don't like their paints as much. Can anyone recommend any resources on how to mix colors so I can mix my own accurate colors of Tamiya paint? Anyone know of a resource with Tamiya paint "recipes" for certain colors. I am into 1/35 German armor.
