The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Recently bought a partly assembled sherman and I was amazed at the extent of reaction/corrosion on the surfaces of the different adjoining metals (nothing had been painted except the turret). The deterioration wasnt major and I have now cleaned it off, but I think it shows the importance of correct priming/painting of some components before assembly. I have disassembled everything and etch primed and now painted with a normal primer. My query is what top coat paint to use. I would prefer to use spray cans and I see that Flair do a matt olive drab in spray cans but being new to the tank scene I am not sure whether this is the correct colour. Can anyone give me advice as to what paint to use?

Hello Peter

the colour in spay cans is normally hit and miss. I personall you modeling paints and air brush it on.
