Hey Gents

I want to start a new build on an Academy M113A3 Iraq 2003 (Kit No: 13211).

I have never been ablt to find Tamiya Sky in a spray can version. I did some checks and came across Humbrol Matt Beige Green (90). Would this be a decent alternative.

Please note that we only really find Tamiya and Humbrol spray paints where I am from.

Since hobby paint is an issue, have you looked into hardware paint? I know a number of people that use this method. One local club member has turned out some very nice cars and that is all he uses for the body.

Krylon Pistachio spray is a perfect match for US interior Seafoam green. I used it for touchups inside actual M113s and M577s. It is all I use for my model interiors as well.

I will have a look at Builder's Wharehouse for this. Looks a bit darker than the Humbrol paint I bought. Thank you for the suggestion.
