ummm, well, i purchased Academy's IDF M60A1 Blazer
i loved the kit, it was an enjoyable build, anyway, i waslooking in one of my old military modelling mags and read the review on this kit and how the guy painted it, i used humbrol paints as the review told me,
these were matt 93, desert sand fo the camouflage, and 127 olive drab i think it is for the dark green undercoat. I sprayed the undercoat, and after it had dried, i washed it with a sponge and applied salt to the model, so i could spray the camoflauge over the top of the OD and simply chip off the paint when the salt was rubbed off.
well to tell the truth, i aint happy with the results, my tank simply looks to shiny in some places and even a bit to yellow, the article said to spray the paint in thin viels, but i think i must of over done it, i was thinking about spraying over it with a lighter grayish colour to tone the yellow down,or applying an oil wash to tone down the colours, what would you do???
and just for the record, i dont like humbrols at all, i'd rather use tamiya acrylics, but, being a fool i decided to go humbrol and follow the magazine article word for word. Would you be able to tell me if there is alternative way of painting my M60A1.
thank you
