Hi Painless
Just in case you dont already know the colours for the KT (if same as my 1) are
Tamiya olive drab
Tamiya yellow brown 2
Humbrol M102 army green
usefull for touching up where the airbrush didnt reach or painting up extra detail parts

Good Morning!
Thank you, Alan! That will be useful information for an Ambush Scheme since a lot of tiny, hard edge triangles or dots in those colors will need to be added.

Painless

Stormbringer!
As I recall, I used Tamiya paints to add Details and touch up the paint before Flats were applied. I believe the paint Colors on the cans were Hull Red, Desert Yellow and Olive Grun.

Painless: I have a few Taigen/Torro tanks in their original paint. The challenge I find is matching paint for details. For a while Torro actually sold the paints they claim match the paint on their tanks from China. I now wish I had bought some. Nowadays they sell Mig Ammo. Of course, here in the U.S. we can still get paints from Spain, right? maybe...?

Good Morning!
Herr Dr., that is a very Good question. Lets see...I found Mega Hobby in Magnolia, NJ that carries the complete Mig Ammo line. https://www.megahobby.com/ Also I see Spray Gunner in Oldsmar, FL at https://spraygunner.com/collections/ammo-by-mig-paints
So there are some options available. For a fan of the Model Master line like myself however, those days are past. The new paints by Testor are Ok but I find myself resorting to Tamiya and even those are just not the same thing.

Painless
