I'll have to wait on that. The shipping will be more than the price of
one bottle.
I'm going to check for those brands the next time I need a bunch of
refills, and either go on-line, or to my local hobby store which is
about 40 miles away in another state. :-)

Anything you lke. Khaki is not a specific colour but a whole range of
colours, a bit like terracotta.

Thanks.
Yes, but there is a range that I would like to find. Wear and weathering
will change it somewhat, but I would like to start with a definite range
of color

As suggested already, "khaki" is a very generic term, just like
"curry." It would probably be best to experiment and mix
your own color, to suit the specific subject. For uniforms,
I like to mix black+orange. This gives a very good
starting point.

kinds of khaki

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found this site with the web colors
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaki_(color)
I printed out a page with a square of the color mix.
I mixed Model Master Acryl colors of Sand (4720), Dark Tan (4709), and
Panzer Dark Yellow (4796) and got a fairly close khaki. After wear and
weathering, the original color khaki will probably disappear. :-)
I also mixed up some tire color. I don't like using flat black on the
tires because it looks like someone cleaned the tires with Armorall.
Panzer Black Grey (4795) and a smidgeon of Flat Black.

My favorite "recipe" for mixing rustic grays (perfect for
the so-called "tire colors") is black+flesh. Give it a try.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.
