I'm purchasing stuff for my next project, the Ryefield Tiger I Tunisian one, and I'm going to heavily colour modulate it. My initial thoughts were to simply buy the dunkelgelb (RAL7028) colour modulation set from Mig:

However, on extensive research, it seems that Tiger Is in Africa/Tunisia are painted in 2 different base colours - Sand-brown (RAL8000) and yellow brown (RAL8020). RAL 8000 is the most stand out different from the set, being much darker and browner, but I thought RAL8020 is pretty similar to Dunkelgelb, especially if you colour modulate. However, my research has led me to believe that Tiger Is in Africa are in the RAL8000 scheme.
So I'm left with 2 options:
1) Throw accuracy to the wind, get the dunkelgelb modulation set, and since its a few shades anyway, it'll destroy any differences between the RAL8020 and RAL7028.
2) Be accurate, get RAL8000, and find 3 other colours to modulate with - In which case, I need your help in picking out the shade and 2 highlights!
Which would you pick? I like the RAL8000 colour better to be honest, but don't know which other colours to pick out to modulate it.
