Basecoat for Isherman M-51 circa 1967

Model Master makes Israeli Armor Sand. Or you can try their US Armor Sand FS#30277.

This one's always a handy reference: http://idfmodelling.free.fr/article01.html

For my next project I plan to do Tamiya's M-51 Isherman 1967.What would be the proper colors to use as a basecoat ? Tamiya recommends TS-46 Light Sand which only comes in a rattlecan.

I can use regular Tamiya,Modelmaster,Vallejo,or Lifecolor

thanks

 Man, Tamiya's rattler would be perfect for me.. I never use an airbrush where a rattle-can would do..

What's wrong with rattle-cans, especially on single-color paint-scheme like this one, if I might inquire? You could touch-up with it as well, and even decant it for your airbrush (no mixing then, ya know)...
