That might send the purest here in overdrive. Frankly. I couldn't be bothered to spend hours researching. Ordering special paint....just all of that. So I used what I had. All Tamiya. XF64 red brown. XF61 Dark Green. XF59. Desert yellow. All airbrushed over a black base. Looks ok to the mk 1 eyeball. Green could be darker. Brown could be redder but eh. Scale effect I'm calling it.

Im thinking its just the opposite..........

The green is right(tamiya Olive Green is too dark out of the bottle)
The red brown is right- lighter than out of the bottle (or at least thinned enough to be a light shade.
The yellow seems right against the base shades, but being desert yellow not German Dark Yellow, it does seem to lend itself to being a bit chameleon , my PzIV was like that :think:
Top job, and remember any washes will darken the final shade.

Thanks for the kind words. As the paint settles it's all starting to come together. I'm hoping to get the sand striped finished today.

If my puny efforts were any good don't you think I would be showing them?
I am still at the early learning stage,
For all that I keep altering the ratio of Flour to the amount of water in the Bucket I still cannot get the wallpaper to stick to the side of the Turret,
Where am I going wrong?
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
