Hi guy's,

Does anybody know if tamiya do a rattle can spray that can be used for Russian armour ? I'm going to repaint my kv2 so I would like to do the base coat using a can as the kv has a large area to cover. I can then do the shading and other bits and pieces with the airbrush, just looking for a green suitable for russian armour

Cheers, Lee.

Tamiya doesn't make a Russian Green that I know of. They make a Dark Green TS-2 in a spray can. I've used their jar Dark Green XF-61 but I think it's a little dark. My Soviet builds are painted with Vallejo Russian Green, also called OLIVGRUN RLM80.

Try VALEJEO russian green comes as brush and ready mixed spray paint

Thanks for the replies fella's I normally use vallejo for all my painting, brush and airbrush, I have used the vallejo russian 4bo set to paint 1/35 models , I was only looking for similar in a rattle can to save me airbrushing the base coat on, I was going to use the vallejo set I have then for the shadows and highlights , looks like I'll be in for a longer session of airbrushing then

This is not the best picture but it's the colour I'm after, I painted this 1/35 kv a few years ago using the vallejo russian green 4B0 set, the tones don't show up too well in the picture mind,

I know what you mean kiaser, you can get a lot more stuff in 1/35 scale from figures to vehicles, that's the only downside to 1/16
