Cromwell Mk.IV (Tamiya, 1/35)

[Vajled]

Little U.K. spice

primer and preshade

If somebody can give me advice, what green color is good for this tank?

So far I found a lot of different colors and modulations, and what I see is Valejjo Olive drab good match?

Cheers

I can't say what the exact shade is Roman, but I've always felt that British tanks were 'greener' than OD. More like a duller version of Russian green IMHO.

Is there not a vallejo paint for this? They do every other colour under the sun!

I'll be watching you working your magic on this one.

Cheers Patrick

Looking very nice Roman I would have gone for Olive Drab myself

 

[monica]

nice looks good to me ,so what color did you ended up using ?

 

[Vajled]

thx monica,

At the end for the base I choose RLM83 Tank green

I think with some more modulation will be great
