Recommended Tamiya colors for AFV
Posted by odingski on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 6:26 AM

I am switching to the acrylic water based paint from the enamel. Is there anybody who could recommend a list mostly used for armour building? I live in a remote area and want to have a stock of Tamiya acrylic paints  that is commonly used for models of US WWII AFV's.

What would your list of colors be that you would buy for stocking so that when you start a project, mostly if not all the colors you need would be there ready to use.

I have an order for an M1 combat car and have not received it yet. I went through the net so I can prepare some paints but got negative results. I guess I will just have to wait for the kit to arrive. Thanks anyway.
