They call for OD and dark brown. Sorry, but no way is that green OD. Any help or opinions? Thanks Jim Retirement is so great, I don't know why I didn't start 20 years ago.     Respond to this message    Author Reply Gary Needham (no login) 194.6.79.200 JGSDF colours November 5 2009, 3:46 AM  You are right - OD is way too dark. TAMIYA do the correct JGSDF brown and green in their acrylic range (bottles are XF-70 somethings) however I don't know the actual ref. no's off the top of my head. That said, the brown appears very similar to "earth" in their normal range and the green appears slightly darker and more 'green' in tone than their 'Field Grey' (XF-65?)

Its a dark olive and isn't particularly green. I use it a lot for Vietnam vintage US armor. Nice shade. If you remember the OLD Pactra dark OD, its very similar.     Respond to this message    (Login Vodnik) HyperScale Forums 165.72.200.11 JGSDF Olive Drab is not used on Type 90.

November 5 2009, 1:11 PM  Believe it or not, the Gamera movies from the mid 90's have excellent shots of all types of Japanese equipment.

It's great to be able to get info like this, when the internet just gives facts with no background. I was in an office once where they had a sign posted: NONE OF US IS AS SMART AS ALL OF US. Works for me.
