Hi people!

Is the AMX-30 plain green realy OD? Like the US tanks?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Marco

I've read that Humbrol 102 is OK for this color, but various shades can be seen, depending on the pictured AMX-30 age

Here are a weathered one and a freshly painted one

Thanks H.P.!

I looks more green than drab. Almost the color used on Strykers (or am I wrong?)

Cheers!

Marco
