No shortage of substitutes here, Flat Brown from Vallejo matches at 87 percent and 4 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Color-wise this is a moderate, dark red leaning warm. Within the Two Thin Coats range it ladders cleanly, Royal Cloak for the shadows and Noble Steed Brown for the highlights. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Boar Hide equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Two Thin Coats Boar Hide cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Flat Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Flat Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.8).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Saddle Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Bugman's Glow, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
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.
