Hi everyone,
I'm working on a T54/55 model , I 'd like to depict an empty old abandoned one I saw on the net ( or something like it )
Now the question, witch , humbrol, revell, .., colour would you recomment to get that light olive like colour ?
and if there is anyone who has pictures I aven't found or seen, please do post or mail them, so i can get as much info as I can
(I'm a cheap bastard, cause I don't like to buy books for just that one model)
well hope to get reply on this
see ya

Don't need to buy books, just browse the web ! Type "T55 in Afghanistan" for example in Google and I'm pretty sure you'll get some pics.
As for Humbrol or Revell paint refs, sorry I can't help. But you can enlighten any green to match the final desired state.
