Jack Bone sits in the brown family: mid-tone in tone, muted in saturation, warm in cast. No shortage of substitutes here, Ija #30 Karekusa Iro (Dry Grass) from AK Interactive matches at 88 percent and 5 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Gun Corps Brown in the recesses and step up to Thrall Flesh on the edges, both P3 Paints paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Jack Bone equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Jack Bone outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Ija #30 Karekusa Iro (Dry Grass), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Greyish Green/Schilfgrün (RAL 6013), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Khaki Drab, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Prairie Ochre, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Light Mud, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Thar Brown, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.1).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
