Types and colors of Oil Paints I should get?

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

So I am thinking about buying some oil paints from Hobby Lobby, and I was wondering what colors and brands would be good for doing weathering on WWII tanks and planes? Is Mona Lisa the best thinner for this too?

Thanks

Burnt umber is always good for basic washes.

Raw umber and lamp black are good ones as well as raw & burnt sienna. I like to thin oils with Turpenoid.

Folks that do dot filters use a bunch of colors you wouldn’t think go on camo equipment.

I like windsor & Newton oils and have a couple Liquitex as well - they’ve lasted for years.

I did figures for a bit so my inventory may not be for all but I have:

Burnt & raw umber

Burnt & raw sienna

Titanium white

Lamp black

Naples yellow

Flesh tint

Cadmium red

Prussian blue

Payne’s Gray, its less harsh than straight black for shadows

For dot filters, a beginners set of mixed colors containing yellow, white, blue, red.

I often recommend Turpenoid, a refined turpentine. It seems to be less harsh than mineral {white} spirit paint thinner.
