So I am going to paint the merkava and challenger 2.
All was ready but then the problems started! I have got German Desert Yellow from Lifecolor for the challenger 2 and lifecolor Israeli Sandgrey for the merkava.

Mathias,
What airbrush are you using, at what pressure? I thin Lifecolor 60% paint to 40% thinner, sprayed at 12-15 PSI, and get excellent results!
