Struggling to find a nice green for my KV's

What paints have you guys used for the primary green?

Check out Arinie's build...he did a great job on the paint

He did, but as far as I can see he painted it "green" with a couple of Citadel inks to shade.

Mike - was going to ask you which paint when I see you next Grantham meet.....

Would this not be the correct colour, its out stock at mo, I'm sure mig do a green set too specifically for Russian armour...

Is there a Tamiya or Valerjo equivalent? I'll be after some too, but will then be adding a winter cover.

[Jake79]

Cheers, and by the looks of things containing :

609 - Russian Green 4BO
018 - Cam. Black Green
017 - Olivgrün RLM80
223 - Green
225 - Light Green
522 - Satin Varnish

And digging, Tamiya mix XF-4 Yellow Green and XF-58 Olive Green to create Hull color. http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/ ... /index.htm


And to prove the Russians weren't the only ones daft enough to fit huge guns in tanks http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/ ... /index.htm

Nice one, thanks guys. Going to give it a basic green, small amount of weathering then heavy dry brush white

Would this set be a good place to start for painting a JS2?
