About this deal

While a great deal of research as gone into matching the colours used during the War, in my opinion, it is difficult to reproduce the exact look and feel of the Wartime finish because of our modern synthetic eco-friendly paints. It amazes me how thin and matt the cover was on German wartime vehicles using paints that are considered poisonous by today’s standards." The beauty of RAL is that the colours have not changed one bit since inception. Ever. So a can of 8000 today is the same as a can of 8000 in 1942. However, some of the names have changed - which can be very misleading. 8000 was GelbBraun but is now GrunBraun. 7008 was GrauGrun but is now KhakiGrau. 8020 has remained Braun and 7027 has remained Grau.

OK, now remember folks, don't shoot the messenger, I'm only relaying the info here, not the charter member of the cult.

Spray on with a light color feed and stop when you are satisfied with the color. You can experiment with different mixes. Green has a very strong chroma so very little is needed. The Smoke is used to tone down the clear colors as otherwise they will give a bright "candy apple" phony look.

The pot lids look about right.

The paint covers well, flows smoothly with no blushing or fading, and can be blended easily. Each bottle of the Tamiya Acrylic Paint Mini Series contains 10ml of paint.As for SCCNo2 Mike Starmer is credited for researching and publishing the authentic shade using Tamiya paint mixes Greenhills Tamiya 10ml Bottle of Acrylic Paint – Flat Earth XF-52 – C565 Log in for wholesale price

I'm not saying "Paint your model the color of your grandmother's bathroom", more like; "Hey, look at this weird color, I wonder what that's all about."Both The Vallejo Model Air colours at 6 & 7 ( German Green and Russian Green) are acceptably close. Brush-applied yellowish-khaki coat over natural metal on Type 99 Val shot down in Middle Loch, Pearl Harbor. Tail code AII-251. As for the SCC2 thread, I've attempted to use the Mike Starmer Tamiya mix to compare with OTC paint offerings. Still working on exactly what I want to do with my MLRS. I think I'll go with the camo pattern as depicted in this photo. Personally I don't like the Model Master Russian (Armor) Green. I always thought it was supposed to be the World War II shade, but it is an odd blueish green that to me doesn't work well for ANY time period.
