Paint

Has anyone mapped out colors using Testors or Model Master paint instead of Humbrol?

I've cited MM paints on past paint-up threads that I've done.

Off the top of my head:
RLM76: light blues
Euro Gray 1: Back Panels, Dome, Cheeks, Face, etc
Concrete flat: Back Panels
RLM73: Back Panels
Panzer Olive Grun 1943, 3:1 White Flat: Dome, Lower Cheek (4:1 or straight if you want to go darker)
Insignia Red & 1 drop Black flat per oz: Mandibles, Back, etc (no set formula...too much black makes it look kindof brown)
Insignia Red & Dark Blue mix: Purple/dark maroon mandibles, back, etc (start with red and add drops of blue until its gets nice and dark)
Russian armor green (lighter with a couple drops of white): Left Ear
Sand: Left Ear
Caboose Red: Left Ear
Sand & Wood (mix to taste): Right ear

These colors are not necessarily going to be everyones favorite, but I'm pretty happy with how they look. Keep in mind photos tend to show everything a bit brighter than they look in real life.
 
I know my local Hobby Lobby doesn't carry the RLM and military colors, but there is nice selecttion on ebay and megahobby.com...probably other online retailers too.
