Airbrush looks like its down for the count, and I want to get at least the base coat down this weekend.

Can anyone recommend a good "rattle can" - Tamiya, Testors, Citadel, heck - Krylon???? - brand/shade for a "Panzer yellow" please?

Any other of the Panzer colors in brands/shades would be appreciated too!

Thanks in advance!

Testors/Model Master makes a Panzer gray and an Afrika mustard that I have used in the past. Also, if you can find it, Tamiya makes a Dark Yellow in their "Tamiya Color" rattle can line.

Hey Ron,

I haven't seen you post in a long time. Good to read you again.

Thanks Ron! How's the Afrika Mustard stack up for a Dunkelgelb?
TIA!

IIRC, the mustard is a bit more yellow than the dark yellow.
BTW, if you can get PolyScale paints in rattle cans, try "Depot Buff"

Chuck, I've been in the "modeling doldrums". Couldn't get going on anything. Starting to come around, though. I've got a couple on the bench.

If anyone else is following this thread, found this...

Now I wonder if the R/C clerks at Hobbyclown know what Dunkelgelb is?
