Has anyone had any luck finding an off the rack paint that matches the X-wing's main beige color? I would prefer suggestions for Citadel or Vallejo paints, as I can just pick them up at my N(ot)R(eally)FLGS, but any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

R2-EQ - Thanks for the quick reply...which "Version" did you use on the Biggs pictured? It looks really good!

Thanks again!

ive gone the opposite way and painted them gray. they are gray in the films and in the artwork so have used a stonewall gray highlighted with white and the effect looks cool. I dont like the look of them in the beige colour that ffg used.
