Hi folks,
i'm working on italeri M4A1 sherman and going to build it as an IDF M1, here is an "in progress" shot.



I tried out Lifecolor UA020 but it seems to be alot lighter then the real color, am i wrong.
its not the color in the picture,ive applied couple of "filters" over it to alter the tone.

Eran, The pic is not there for me to make a call, however, I just ordered a set of LifeColor paints from Military Hobbies with my UOM prize and will soon post my findings. :-)

Eran,
I think remote image viewing is blocked on that site. You can host them on our MSN site if you need a place that has remote access.

I don't know anything about Life Color paints, but the paint should be lightened to scale anyway, so maybe it's not really an issue. It could just make it easier. Not seeing the picture, though, I can't say whether it is too light or not. One word of advice I can give is to undercoat with a darker colour first, and then overspray with the ligther one. It would give a good faded effect to the model.

I have used Lifecolour paints on Aircraft they work very well,never had a problem with them.I also got them through Military Hobbies,Have not used them on Armour yet.

Have a good one.
