| Hi Jim; I use Humbrol #186 brown mat mixed with 50% Humbrol #33 black mat. This gives me a very dark brown that I thin with oderless mineral spearits. I spray the complete tank, tracks, wheels, (turret seperate), all of the tools everything! Do it slowly under good light and you should get a good coverage. What this enamel base will do is ech into the plastic and give you a strong bond, for the acl. paints to hold onto. It is also a great base color for the tracks. And if you don't get enough paint in an area it will look more like a shadow, like between the wheels. Steve |
