Base coat for French M24
Posted by Tankluver on Thursday, February 22, 2018 5:19 AM

hi I’m building the French indochina M24 Chaffee from bronco. What would be a good base coat color before applying olive drab? I was thinking black but wasn’t all to sure. Thank you!

A really dark green will work as well.

I've used Tamiya olive drab as a base before. It's really dark and you can add a lighter OD over it.

Ditto  It has the added bonus of giving shadow effects.  At least it can if you are not heavy handed when applying the overcoat like I tend to do.
