Hi
I've a couple of build's that need painting. I use Vallejo Model Air.
The vehicles are to represent the US Army & USMC in Vietnam.
What would be a good match for the colour.
Thanks

Hi Shaun!

In my LVTP-5 I used the Olive Yellow.

To army stuff I really don't know, but IMO the Olive Drab is the best call.

I hope it helps.

Cheers!

Marco

Thanks Shaun!

As someone told: It is a big green bar of soap

BTW, some times I used to use automotive paints to made my own colors. To make OD, I use yellow and black and some drops of red to "burn" the color. Put the black on yellow and you can control the OD you desire.

I hope it can help you.

Cheers!

Marco
