Painting a WWII German figure... (help needed)
Posted by Zero Enna on Saturday, August 27, 2005 2:32 PM
Recently I've purchased the Zvezda 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. I ausf. B, It comes with one figure, it is a man with an overcoat... somebody told me that I must paint the overcoat Field Gray... well, Model Master makes a Geman Uniform Feld Grau... is it the right color?... another person told me that the required color is a greenish gray... another thing: the figure's pants and shoes must be painted black, but I think it will look ugly when painted, perhaps I can paint the shoes with a different color or add some white to the black for painting the shoes... I don't know... Suggestions?... Thanks in advance.

Zero, the Model Master color you refer to is, indeed, field gray and it is a 'greenish-gray.'
When painting 1/35 scale figures you should lighten whatever color you use with white to scale it down.
I don't remember right off the top of my head what the proper mixing proportions are, but I'm sure there's someone reading this thread that can chime in with those.

Buenas suerte!
