Paint question

So how goes it Mark?? Any luck

Haven't tried yet, at work
Hope to have another go on New Year's Day if my head
Isn't too bad

Just a thought Mark...you could try the dark base coat light top coat on a piece of paper first...see what the result is...also if you are going to do that...you can change the color of base coats and top coat with that light color till you get the shade you want
That way you don't get a build up on your tank...and it won't be as messy

Is this the same Tiger you did the first time did a build ...or is this a new one?

Great ideas
It's the same one
Anxious to finish as I have another waiting in the wings

No Shame Brother ...Since I've taken out my airbrush kit...I'm thinking of redoing all my tanks ...So you should feel lucky you only have to one and one more to go

khaki gray RAL 7008 is the colour http://www.tiger-tank.com/secure/journal27.htm hope this helps

Having seen it in the flesh very recently the 7008 is deceptive, because its neither green nor grey. It's a light, quite soft brown.

What I would say is test your colour out with filters. Something like the AK Africa corps filter will change the colour a great deal. The first coat is a building block for your later layers of colour. Have a look at Toms Africa Tiger, as he used similar colours.
