Hi,

I was reading some article on the on the Yom Kipiur conflict and noticed
that there are some tanks in gray color.

Just curious, what type of gray is that ? I heard some say it is sinao gray, but anyone know what tone of gray is that ?

I try to paint my model usng Gunze gray green but it turn out to be more green to my liking...

Anyone out there know what is the tone of gray for sinai gray ?

Cheers....

Testor's SAC Bomber Tan and Header White at a 50/50 ratio works very well.

Hi Guys,

thanks for the help and suggestion. I am familiar
with Gunze paint which is laquer based, Testor paint is new to me but I am going to try it out, any ideal if
testor is arclyic or laquer based ?

I have 2 new questions :

1) For Testor paint, do I need to spary a coat of
gloss/clear over it to protect it when I do pin wash
with oil and turpentine ? I know I need to do that arclyic paint for arclyic paint.

2) For IDF enivornment, how should I wash the vehicle ? Can still still do it with burnt umber or
should I chose a different oil color...to do the pin
wash ?

Thanks for the help so far.... :-)
