Hi guys,

I am trying to find the right shade of green and brown for Modern US armor, esp a M109 and a M2 Brad. I can find model masters, and the 89 cent acrylic tubes(Folkcraft, Ceramcoat) at the hobby store, but no tamiya or anything. Any advice. The green is especially complicated. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Scott

"Factory Fresh" would be Olive Drab & Military Brown in the MM line

Are you asking about two of the NATO 3-tone camo colors? If so....

I've had good results with the Polly Scale "NATO" colors in acrylics...



A few more in my gallery...
