I see that Vallejo is selling sets of paints for color modulations of various AFV paint schemes. For instance, here's the US Olive Drab:

I have all the paints, but would be curious to see their painting instruction for how to use these particular colors for modulation. Anyone know if there's a way to download these instructions? If not, anyone willing to send a scan?

Thanks!

Hey Jeff, thanks for the link but as mentioned, I have the paints. I'm curious to find out if the non-paint materials from that set (I.e. painting guides) are available or shareable in some means other than purchasing the set.

Thanks

Jake, the instructions that come with any of these sets are very basic (and that's giving them credit!)...usually what you see on the back of the box is it. Vallejo's Desert War set went into a bit more SBS, although the best info on modulation will be found in the forums, DVD's and books.
