No shortage of substitutes here, Flesh/Hautfarbe from Revell matches at 86 percent and 4 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. In the pot, Elven Flesh reads as a warm orange, light and vivid. For modelling, drop to Zombie Flesh in the recesses and step up to Pale Flesh on the edges, both Green Stuff World paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
