1941 Paint Formula - Dark Tarmac No 4.

[Mike K]

Has anyone worked out the actual colour of Dark Tarmac #4 ?

In that file mentioned, the colour chip is devoid of colour , its just a poorly defined grainy page of black or dark grey .

Has Mike S worked it out ?

PS just found this from this source http://www.ammsbrisbane.com/ajax/art...int_mixes.html

Dark Tarmac No.4 Tamiya
This replaced Dark Green G4 in the spring or summer of 1941. Applied initially as stripes, as per MTP 20, then later in the MTP46/4A style. In turn it was replaced by SCC1A and then SCC14 black. This is provisional since I use Revell 78 and this mix is very close. Based on Steve Guthrie’s description of a sample in the Canadian archives he has examined and compared with some test samples that I sent to him and a colour photograph and some film footage seen on ML last year.
Mix: 1prt XF24 + 1prt XF69.
