Can anyone tell me what colors I should chose for my filters on a 3-tone NATO-camouflage ?

Thanks,
Marc

Marc, being the effect of the filter (1-2% of paint to 99-98% of thinner) very subtle, using the most disparate colours can give interesting results. If I want to apply a filter to "blend" the camo colours what I usually do is to use Winsor & Newton oil Olive Green thinned in white spirit. If I want to add a faded look to the model once the above mentioned one has dried (usually after 12 to 24 hours) I apply another one using Winsor & Newton oil Naples Yellow...
Ciao
