Should I re-spray base coat?

Post by nashorn88 »

I had a chance to start painting some of my tanks
Should I respray the OD ones to nato green?
Then camo? Or just camo the OD?

Here’s a sample of how they look. A bit dark but maybe ok?

The link isn't pulling up a picture for me.

When I converted my vehicles from OD green to 3-color NATO camo I just painted the brown and black over the OD green. It seems Ok to me, but then again I don't have very high standards. The vehicles in the ACR thread have a base coat of Testors OD green with Tamiya NATO brown and NATO black.
