Mid, dark, pale, very pale and did it have a blue tinge?

I'm looking at a mix of pale camo grey, lotsa white and a dab of summat like radome tan, bleached oak, unbleached linen or whatever.

Moi aussi, Wilhelm. Something about the dropper mechanism has always put me off.....

Those of us who remember when the clap was less than fatal tend to equate drops that big with horse syringes.

I've just checked my stash of Humbrol satin paints (which I never use). Turns out I have five satin greys 125, 126, 129, 164 and 166. Sorry Grizz, no 156. You do know it's still in production ?

I've done some checking, it's slightly blue, so off my palate. I will use the recommended mix with slate instead and one part of radome tan.
