Hello,

After the disaster with the 234/1, I decided to start a new project. In order to complete this I would like the help of you all for the painting and weathering of this vehicle.

This is the one.

I'll start right off with the first Q, For a yellow with green camo vehicle, what would be the best base colors. I prefer Tamiya acrylics as they are easely obtaint from my local hobby shop.

For my JP, I used a mix of Tamiya Dark Yellow and Flat White (75:25) and for the camo, I used Vallejo Model Air Tank Green.

Laurence, thanks now I now where to start. The model air range I have never used. Must it be diluted and so what to use best?

Tom!
First after you have build it with all etched you want spray the primer. Tamiya got a primer I find very good and it´s fine. After that I use to pre-shade. That means I use thinner/turpentine and black/blackgray or what ever you find usefull. I have even used redbrown. When this have cured you can spray the yellow over it. I don´t know if you use airbrush or spray cans. I my self use currently spray cans. When this has cured apply the camouflage.
Ahh well I can go on and on. I want to tell you that I have never done a modell worth it name =O)
Best regards
Ebbe

Ebbe,

Hello,

What colour should the inner side of the wheels be? Just the base yellow color or some red oxide?

I usually do them yellow, but I see no reason why they couldn't be primer. As far as I know, personal opinon.

Tom, I usually add a drop or two of water to dilute. You don't need to dilute by much as Model Air is not as "thick" as Model Color. The key lies in the air pressure. There's a SBS guide on Vallejo's website (). Go to Model Air and on the top of the page there's a link called "Use Guide"
