Hello to all,
Im painting an M2A2 Bradley in the three color NATO. I do not have an air brush. Here is my questions. 1 Should I try and paint it by hand or spray can? 2 If I paint by hand what colors and what paint should I use? 3 Same as 2 but for spray cans? Yes I know what your thinking just get and air brush. Its on my wish list but not doable right now.
Thanks for your imput

Hi, I would use enamels for hand painting,or Vallejo model colour but they are a bit tricky to match the colours you would need a conversion chart,I imagine Tamyia spray cans would have the colours you need but dont use their acrylics for hand painting their only good for airbrushing.Hope this helps
