Olive drab? Olive green? Faded Olive? What???
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 9:31 PM
Could any one shed some light on the colors used for US Military armor and unifrom color? I've think I've done them all. Between all the different brands of paint and what they all call their color, I'm just asking what other people have used and liked best?

Thanks

For armour I use either Tamiya O.D. or Dark Green. By the time the weathering is completed it's a totally different colour depending on how far I go with it.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

I like Model Master olive drab (FS 34087) for WWII armor. I use as the base for late 60s or early 70s armor, but add quite a bit of black to it. Robert's correct, when weathered it changes a lot.
