Guido this is some amazing work and I feel humble in your presence!
Have you decided what colour you are going to use - Vallejo, Tamiya? Please don't say Lifecolor 'cos it clogs my airbrush!
Looking forward to your response.

Hi Guido - no you just said you used a variety of paint types rather than the specific number. Any idea what Vallejo acrylic is a match?
Regards,

Sorry mate......don't think Vallejo got a specific paint for IDF tanks.....you should do it from a mix by yourself.

Guido, have you thought of casting your pieces? I'm sure people would be interested in getting a copy of those ammo racks.
