Trying to find the replacement green for the Model Masters Medium Green, compare Tamiya NATO Green (darker green) and Tamiya Light Green.

Picked these up from a nice Canadian. Very old packaging.
These will serve for Estoniadom.

About 15 years +/- ago, I was building/creating my modern Japanese force.
Here is the Type 87 air defense system.

I saw the pics on my phone, but now that I'm on the computer I can't see them anymore :( Probably operator error, but they looked really good!

Back from FL, saw a good war game friend.
Did some trading including Model Masters paint. I brought some from Birmingham, AL, he picked up some from FL, so we traded that an miniatures.

Wish we could have played, but certainly fun time eating Bar B Q, and looking at stuff, trading, talking and catching up.

Hey, any chance this person may have a bottle or two of Model Masters Nato Tri Color Green? I would pay dollars for that. Just want to finish out some of the stuff I am doing right now before I switch to a different company.

Listen, Chris. Re your conversion of Sheridan using the Japanese AA turret... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER'S HATCH!!!? Do you just tow the chassis aroun or build the driver in permanently? You GOTTA CONSIDER rhings like that.

PG, the driver and his hatch are of no concern.
I guess I will UNwind that kitbash.
Thus, have another M551 hull.

PG, it was an air defense vehicle for Japan. I was content with my kitbash.
Hoth, I do not have that color, do not recall seeing it.

Here are a couple of vehicles. The Abrams with camo net did not have a barrel.
