Can anybody recommend a Tamiya mix to match Vallejo's Panzer Aces # 304 Track Primer?

I use a Black base coat, over this then goes a custom mix of Hull red, Buff, Dark yellow thinned with alcohol. The mix is very thin indeed and give a light dusty rusty colour.

Pretty much go with Boots' suggestion, I just mix up all the left overs from the nearly empty paint jars, that comes out a sort of track browny sort of colour?

Well, after messing around some and taking all the fine info contained in this thread, I've come up with a formula. 3 parts XF-10 2 parts XF-1 3 parts XF-52. Looks like this:  Came out a little darker than what I wanted but that can be adjusted by adding more XF-52. ACW

Thanks Pete. As I said a bit lighter I think next time but I'm keeping it too.
