One tip I can use is get WHITE primer.  Use the primer for the color of the building and for priming the other kits, two birds with one stone. 

I also love the idea, im working on a 'What If' myself right now.

I love the concept. I suggest you try googling some images of Germany to get an idea of the building colors. Prior to the adoption of the TRI color NATO camo in the second half of the 80s, Bundeswehr AFVs were in a dark olive color, that really does not match any buildings in Germany. Especially in the towns and villages. Most of those are brick, stone, or wood and not gonna be in a similar tone.

Diorama: "What If" East Germany vs West Germany War
Posted by personman906 on Thursday, September 9, 2010 6:30 PM

I'm planning to build a diorama with Tamiya's 1/35 West German Leopard Tank and Verlinden's 1/35 Church Ruin to create a "What If" scene from a war between East and West Germany that never was, and I'm looking for tips on building this scene on a budget, using a spray-can single-action airbrush. Is it possible to build the Verlinden kit using the same paint colors as the tank? If not, what colors should I use?

Please reply!
