Does anyone make these colors in spray cans? (yes spray cans, i dont have an airbrush yet [V]but im saving for the Omni4000 and going to put a compressor on my Christmas list) any colors in spray cans very similar to these?
Thanks a bunch
scer16,
To the best of my knowledge, no one makes these three colors in spray cans. I’m also unaware of any three colors that are available that would make realistic, close substitutes. Good luck in your search.
Enjoy your modeling…
tamiya makes a color called dark yellow, it sounds similar, the camo im gonna do only needs dunkel gelb and oliv grun
Testors makes a military color called Afrika Mustard that is closer to Sandgelb than Dunkelgelb and would be appropriate for an Afrika Korps vehicle. There were also some vehicles on the Eastern Front around the time of Kursk (Summer 1943) that used Sandgelb by itself or with Olivgrun for camo colors. I suspect that the Tamiya color might be close to this color as well, but I don’t know. You’ve got to be careful not to get an automotive color that will give a high-gloss finish. You’ll be spraying Dull Cote forever to get a true flat finish.
Enjoy your modeling…
If they spray is as close to their bottle acrylic, than Tamiya’s Dark Yellow is a great match for Dunkelgelb.
i only build armor but tamiya makes a airplane paint called olive green (oliv grun) is that shiny or could i use it on my armored car?
i have no experience with tamiya airplane(AS) paints per se, but id say that since airplanes arent shiny, you ought to be ok. (check with someone else to be sure, what i said is just my litte logic, not experience) [:P]
Tamiya recommends these spray can paints for German three-color camo:
TS1: Red Brown
TS2: Dark Green
TS3: Dark Yellow
Here they are on my old Tamiya 1/25 Panther A:
They look close enough to me!
thanks everybody
