The SCC15 mix with Tamiya colors as is follows:
5 parts XF61
2 parts XF62
2 parts XF3
A little more yellow ( XF3) won't hurt. Then lighten for scale effect.

I came up with a mix in Valejo, however it's not in the model air color line and I don't care for the way it sprays much. Gunze is difficult to come by here.

Dan,
Last models I've built are all done in Gunze, their color range is far better than Tamiya, it is in satin finish, so easy application of decals is guaranteed and the pigments are much finer than tamiya's ...so a smoother finish!!
It's, just like Tamiya, alcohol based so dilluting is the same. You can even use Tamiya and Gunze together......
Love the stuff!!, John.

That is the issue I don't care for when it comes to Tamiya. I have always been a Hubrol fan. I don't really care for acrylics period. They just don't don't spray that well and don't tend to have the same self-leveling capabilities. Tamiya also tends to dry before it hits the surface, which also leads to a velvet looking finish.
As for their bomb-can products, (aka spray cans) they work great. However, they are a lacquer based product.
