RAF WWII tropical uniform colour?

    Anyone have a recommendation for painting the RAF desert/tropical uniforms from WWII?

    preferably a Tamiya or Vallejo colour?

    They appear to more yellow than tan in some pictures so Vallejo Desert Sand doesn't quite match unfortunately :(

    Thanks

    Thanks. I have that but it definitely seems very dark. maybe a mix with desert sand and khaki would be about right.

    To my eye, the material has some "green" in it. I see the same thing in Vallejo's Buff, so that may be an option.
