I'm just thinking about which model from my stack to do next. One of the favourites is the Revell Germany (ex Italeri) 1/35 LVT(A)1 Amtank. I built the Amtrack a couple of years ago, so I'm familiar with the basic issues concernig the kit.
There are two sorts of colour schemes suggested. One is OD overall, and the other is a sort of darkish battleship grey. Revell suggest a mix of 80% Blue-grey Revell 79, and 20% White. My expereince of Revell kits, however, suggests that these mixed colours are often available, ready-mixed, eleswhere.
Could anyone tell me, therefore:
1) What was the name of this grey colour in real life? Does it have a FS number?
2) Are there any off-the-peg equivalents available, especially in the Humbrol and Tamiya paint ranges?
3) Are there any fading/ weathering issues that I should be particularly aware of with this colour?
Thanks for your help, guys.
Chris.
