Have Tamiya paint numbers changed?

I have Tamiya flat acrylic in bottles XF 60 Dark Yellow. I am working on Tamiya’s new RSO and the instructions call out XF 88 as Dark Yellow for base exterior yet their chip chart shows XF 88 as light green . Error on the instructions?



Anyone know if their numbers have changed?

XF-88 is Dark Yellow 2 a new formula for German Dark yellow. They have been updating a few of their colours to be more accurate

Correct, hence the “2” next to the name.

Thanks for clearing this up - wish I didn’t know now - ignorance is bliss and I would have been happy with the shade I have . Now I have to order paint. LOL

There are lots of recipes for using the original dark yellow online. The original was a touch green but that can be fixed with some mixing of colors you likely have on hand, mainly regular yellow and buff

Even in English a dunkelgelb question is still… a dunkelgelb question. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Looks like a 50/50 mix of Dark Yellow and Wood Deck Tan will work - easy enough and I have them both .
