Tyre colour. whats the tamyia mix. Black and gary or better idea
I actually think the German Gray is already quite dark. Now Im no expert but it should be around German Grey:75+Black:25\ said:Tyres are rarely ever black but a very dark to quite light grey. For fairly good tyres I tend to use either Tamiya Nato Black which has a green ting that takes the edge off the black, for greyer tyres I use Revell anthracite which is a very dark grey but still grey if you know what I mean. It is then down to drybrushing to bring out detail and to match them to the terrain they are in. I think aircraft tyres should mainly look in good fairly clean condition but others may disagree. (they usually do.....)You can get away with using Tamiya German Grey made to anything darker by mixing black into it.
