Lyossan Flesh equivalents in other ranges

Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo New Wood, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Denison Tan Base, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).

From Revell: Revell Wood brown/Holzbraun (RAL 8001), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
The honest caveat: Vallejo New Wood dries slightly cooler and more muted than Lyossan Flesh, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
