Tamiya for BR liveries?

[splodgestudios]

Hello!

 

I’m a somewhat beginner of UK modelling, painting has come of special interest as I’m fixing up many kits to more affordably build my rolling stock collection. 
 

As I live in Canada I don’t have easy access to some paints, however Tamiya is readily available. So I wonder what a suitable equivalent would be to Bauxite and Unfitted grey. (See current model below) 

 

End of the day, under weathering it’ll be easier to hide a slightly off colour but I’d like to get it close if I can!

 

Any ideas or comments appreciated!

Based on the nearest match to Humbrol, check out the IPMS Stockholm colour charts for more equivalents.

 

Bauxite - XF 68 (Humbrol 113). Lots of scope for variation though, check out almost any colour photo of a train of bauxite vans and there'll be everything from orange to dark brown depending on the age of the paint. 

 

Grey - XF 12 (Humbrol 64). 

 

"Equivalent" is a relative term in this context.

I was pointed in the direction of 'nato brown' for bauxite. Not quite right but i am a weatherer!
