Just got a digital camera, trying it out...so If the pics are no good...my apologies. This is Tamiya Sherman 105mm, inp....OOB, with scratch built hatch/grab handles. One coat of MM Acryl Olive drab, think its too light (my desk light makes it look khaki)....Comments, questions...(if the pics didn't work, let me know...i'll figure it out, nm they worked)
fixed em a little (closer to true color, need to learn how to use Adobe PS now)

Jejack2, I used Jasc's Paintshop Pro 7. Within I used the Colors - Adjust - Hue/Saturation/Lightness control.
The color you achieved in you photo is most likely caused by an incandescent bulb. Was that the case? Do you have an incand. bulb near the photo?

You save the expense of a natural light and just use the free one that good Lord gave all of us. Sunlight! It works the best.
Be careful though, as sunlight can bring out all those minute imperfections with the kit.
