Dark Yellow?

Posted by kwags on Friday, August 20, 2004 10:23 PM

I don't mean to rehash this, but who makes a good "dark yellow" for a Tiger?

Thanks! Cool [8D]

I use Model Master Acryl "dunkelgelb". Some of the guys in the community have said they think it's too green, but I've found it looks fine once the dark green and red brown have been applied.

for what it's worth, i like Tamiya Acrylics, and their XF-60 Dark Yellow is my Dunkelgelb of choice.

Model master "dunkelgelb" enamel works for me. I agree with spamicus. After the camo is added, and weathering, It take's on a better look.

Thanks guys! I was wondering if the Tamiya Dark Yellow was the correct choice. Approve [^]

I've always used MM enamel Dunkelgelb. Once weathered or used in a camo scheme it fits right in. Of course, the beauty/curse of German schemes is that no one is 100% certain just what the modern day equivalents of the paints should look like but the different manufacturers do their best to approximate it.

Model master enamel "Panzer dunkelgelb 1943" or xtra color "dunkelgelb" they are identical and should be lightened a bit when used on scalemodels, and thats not just an idea I have, modelmaster says so them selves.
