I will be painting this as an El Alemain Sherman. I found the light stone and dark olive green mixes using Tamiya paints from Mike Starmer's posts on ML. The green mix sounds odd to me, It is XF 2 XF 59 and XF 3. That is basically flat white,flat yellow,and desert yellow. That is supposed to make green?

A tank filled with holes.
For that is what shall become.
Boom we go.
Goodbye.

Thanks for the correction. I got in too much of a hurry when I posted yesterday.

I must have done the mix wrong and added to much khaki.

That did not turn out well. So I sprayed the hull and turret again. I guess I need to mask off the sand color,then shoot the green.

I tried to airbrush the camo on.That turned bad. So I brushed it on.

I think you're still good. Wasn't that camo hand painted/hard edge anyway?

Don't forget the areas the camera has picked up. I always paint underneath the vehicle no matter what!

Those sand shields look great on the early A1, need to scratch build some for my 1/16th build.

Keep going... you're almost there and looking good!

I've heard of some modelers taking a whole series of photos of their "finished" model, just to catch any mistakes their eyes didn't.

THEN after any corrections made, take final images to then show. I have even adopted this practice... I just need now to get to that point! LOL

I think it goes on better than MIG pigments. Other than painting the tail lights and antennas.what else needs to be done?
