Yellow color reference for modern T-55 in Egyptian service

Can anyone help me?

Maybe this link could be useful?

Pactra A20 might be hard to find, I have never tried …
They call it Africa Yellow and considering effects from dust, sun, dirt, paint batches I think that other similar colours from other manufacturers

Use a dark grey or black primer, it tends to become more tan over white or light grey.

You can also mix radome tan and sandy yellow to get the shade but I think the AK paint is ok.

Nice looking kit. Is it RFM?

I’ve built their Syrian T34 and it’s a nice kit.

Thank you for support!

I just finished my 1/35 Tamiya T-34 kit, converting it to an Egyptian T-34T ARV, abandoned in the Sinai Desert, during the 1967 Six Day War.

I used Tru Color’s Matte Sand (TCP-4037), which is a rattle can. Of course, other sand related colors were use for detailing, pin washing, dry brushing, etc.

Excellent job John. Great build and love the finish. I love that you added some damage to the rear engine screens, looks great!

Outstanding model Jack. Nice solid build. Great conversion. Fantastic paint and finish, and that red gas cylinder really pops! Perfect eye-catcher.

Really nice conversion. The red cylinder really draws the eye and a nice visual effect.

I don’t know which color should be the “correct” one. I"ve got color references going back to the 70’s. I chose something I liked, and since most of my sand colors were already being used on other vehicles. I used one I found in a craft store. I’m happy with it.


This was a resin conversion on a cheapass Maquette hull, with wheels from I don’t know where.
The transmission might be Maquette as well.
