The color is Tamyia Olive Drab with a few drops of Khaki added into the airbrush bottle before painting. I apply this over a flat black primer base. The flat black accentuate the overcoat and makes any spot I might miss disappear into the shadow.

I then ad various amounts of khaki, burnt umber, raw umber and white into my base olive drab color and dry brush the heck out of it. If I am using the model in a diorama I drybrush the base ground work color over the lower hull, suspension, etc. The final drybrush is almost pure white.

As for the next I use medical gauze, soak it in a solution of 50/50 white glue and water. I also add the base color for my net to the 50/50 solution. I apply this to the finish and painted model. Arrange and let dry. Then I drybrush various colors and highlights.

Hope that helps if not let me know what details you need and I will get back at you.
