Desert tan spray can

Hi guys,

I was wondering what color spraycan to use in an Trumpeter Patriot Launcher.
Is it Humbrol 63, 93 or 237 ?
Or is it Tamiya TS3 or TS 46?

Anyone got the right answer ?
All are sandcolors in spraycans.

A friend on here used Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan, XF78, and it loked surprisingly good.

This has always been my favorite, but damn near impossible to find anymore. I decanter it and shoot it through my airbrush.

Would this work? I never bought it or tried it.

It is available in a spray can but is almost Sold Out; however, check the “Other sellers on Amazon” on the link on the bottom right of the webpage. @bankmannl

This is the color I use for anything desert tan prior to 1995.

Great colour Wooden Deck Tan - I use it as a base colour for the MASSTER scheme:

Hi guys,

Since there is no good alternative paint for the modern Carc Tan I will use brush paint instead of a spraycan.
Thanks for all the suggestions !

We have had some things at work and the color has the very slightest pink hue. It’s not obvious and you really have to look.

Anyone else happen to notice this?

If you’re talking about Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan, what do you suggest I add, to subdue this pink hue you mentioned?

I’ve really struggled up here in W Canada to find a useable, reliable CARC tan, ( AK 3rd gen might be great but I can’t reliably thin and shoot it) I’d like to get the Tamiya product to look as *right as possible.

*(Knowing in many cases the equipment was painted using locally-available paint in the early stages of ODS).

Thanks!

See the pink hue in it Boots? Useable as CARC tan IYO ?

I really couldn’t say; I don’t model much stuff beyond 1989. I’ve used it as a base colour on around 4 x MASSTER-finished models and that’s about it; it was fine for those.
