Good evening John.

I too am going for the Nato Green approach, I am happy so far with the "Trade Paint" Nato Green. So far with my build the road wheels are done so to speak, see Chieftain no34.

Hope this helps

Thanks Charles for the reply , did you need to thin the paint down ? How many ltrs of paint do you think it will need , thanks

Regards John

Hi John.

I bought 2.5 ltrs. So far it has covered the lower half of the Chieftain and was a base coat for the Toylander.

. The 1980's "Bone dome" is fairly weathered, age, use(miss), faded and chipped etc. but hopefully offers a comparison.

As to mixing paint, I have, as a plastic modeler gone by the "consistency of milk" formula. Have you had a look through the Knowledge Base on the forum?

After all that I still have just over half a can of NATO gr.

Cheers Charles

PS Its to cold to paint at present, well here anyway.

Thanks for that Charles , I too have gone for the same paint and it’s left me a bit concerned as too how Matt it is , in that I would say it has a sheen to it ! , anyone else thought the same ? Or am I that unlucky that they sent me a satin in a Matt tin . Any thoughts thanks.
