This is my latest; Tamiya based M113 kit using Legends conversion. I wanted to paint this other than the IDF Sand color, and opted for the grayish color. I searched through the post here and came up with the 50-50 mix of Tamiyas Med. Gray and Buff. But looking at the many pics on the net the color seemed a bit of. So I blended in a touch here and there of grays and a small drop of green to come up with this color. I’m aware of the color references from pic to pic and the monitor…anyhow this is what I came up with, it’s blended between the many pics and thought it was close. So my question is what do you think…and lastly if you were to weather it what color oils would you use. Thanks….

Happy Modeling,
Joe
