So I've been looking into doing some Modern kits like LAV's, Bradley's, and Stryker's. The most recent one I was planning was a Trumpeter LAV 25-A2 SLEP. This has two paint schemes, one for a sandy beige, and a green. However, I was planning on using rattle cans since I do not have an airbrush yet. I am currently deciding the scheme based on whichever I can get most accurately. For the sandy-camo, would a Tamiya light sand work, and for the green, would a Tamiya Dark Green work? All this keeping in mind there will be little-no weathering. Thanks for reading!
