"Checker Tail Clan" finshed pics

Cool come on over…forget the Green Monsters though (they should put that back in the horse they got it from) I’ll take an ice cold Straub or Iron City though!

On the painting techniques did you add white to lighten the OD? I have tried this and never seem to get the desired effect. How many parts per I think is the issue.

So you don’t like green grenades? Iron city works for me, or Old Style perhaps.

I used yellow chromate to lighten the OD. White just kind of grays it out where the YC keeps it in the green range. I started with a 70/30 mix, then about 50/50. Don’t forget…these fade coats are very thin, translucent, so you can still see some base color showing thru.

In addition to yellow zinc chromate, you could use dark yellow (i’m talking tamiya paints, saw it in an article of FSM) but it looked good.

I just tried a light gray on a junker test kit, and that seemed to work well also.
