Looking for (clear doped linen) in model master

[compressor man]

Can anyone tell me what they use for clear doped linen in Testors Model Master enamel? Wingnut says to use Tamiya XF55 deck tan. I have cross referenced this on a couple of online paint charts and the choice that came up on one was Model Master gull gray, the other did not give a model master eqv. I happen to have this gull gray on hand and it looks pretty gray to me with none of the 'tan-ish' look that I think that it should have. Anyone have a favorite for this color?

Chris,

Try Radome Tan in the Model Master enamel range. It is a pretty good representation of CDL.

also model master sand is nice.

I usa Radome Tan too. XF-55 is browner and has been recommended to me as a match for the darker finished Russian linen of the Ilya Muromets.

Chris,
   I'm a fan of Enamels, can't seem to get the durability nor results I want from Acrylics.(which I use sparingly) The Radome Tan is an excellent interior representation IMHO. Recently I've used 40% Modelmaster S/G White with 60% Modelmaster "Panzer Interior Buff" #2104 on the interior of my Bristol Fighter, and really liked the effect. For exterior CDL I've settled on a 50/50 mix of Humbrol #74 Linen enamel with #2709 Modelmaster  "Light Ivory", it's much lighter then the mixes I used previously.
   If you have the time and resources try mixing up some small batches, try them on some scrap, and go from there.
Cheers,
Lance
