What would be the right FILTER color to use on a couple of LRDG vehicles painted with a PINK base & GREEN & BLUE camo lines.

Hey there, just curious why you're looking for a filter. Certainly not every model needs a filter, so I'm wondering what you are trying to accomplish by using a filter. I've used them to slightly modify an existing paint color, or, perhaps, to integrate a set of colors. I'm certainly no expert at all on filter, but would like to know what your purpose is, and that may help determine what kind of advice you might receive.

Filters can do some interesting things to your model and I like to use them on "green" vehicles. But Curt is right, not every model needs a filter. If you would like to use a filter I would suggest painting a few sample panels on styrene sheet and experiment on them. I use extremely thinned oil paints from the tube for my filters.
Good luck,

I was trying to see what a light filter would do on Desert vehicles.
