Paints Sherman ?

[Jofaur86]

Hello,
after finally getting back to work on my Sherman Tam.? Am I at the stage I was dreading? the most "painting" and I admit that despite reading this rereading of the post concerned on the Forum? I still don't know what to use, as a color? Besides, I don't have an airbrush? and the TS bomb doesn't seem to be popular with everyone? I had made a test, can conclusive with the brush? follow taker of any opinion …..

Tamiya TS-28 Olive Drab. It's little too green in my opinion but Tamiya sprays are great.

Thank you Kaczor, in primer I intend to use gray, or would another color lighten it up a bit?

Good Morning,
Just to throw another one in the ring. If you can locate a couple of rattle cans of Model Masters Olive Drab 1911, you would also be pleased with the results. I know paint shades for Shermans is like the best motor oil for your automobile. Everyone has a favorite. Whatever you do, don't forget to share pics with us. I have always loved a Good Sherman.
regards,
Painless

Model Masters is my favourite shade of OD but it's probably not produced anymore. I can't find in anywhere.

Vallejo OD spray is also good.

Yes indeed, after research, seems not to be found? Looked good though!!! Found this but not sure if compatible with plastic Tam. otherwise good price for the quantity?

This color looks like early war British tank Khaki Green not American OD.
PS I knew that French don't like English but to don't have this language option but still have Bulgarian is weird

While we're on the subject, what paint would I need for Sherman's in British service, I'm sure I once read that it wasn't the same shade as the U.S. used.
If I'm correct, what company does the shade I need please.
Should I be looking at the same type of green the British tanks were painted?
