Hello
I am after some help with Painting my early 8th army tanks I have read that you use humbrol enamel no 121 Light stone
as a base colour upon which to add the other colours. But this looks rather to pale
from the few decent colour photos i have the German sand color is far more golden?
I have no colour photos of 8th army tanks
any help or pics from those of you who have solved this would be apreciated
Regards Richard

...although I don't seem to have pics of all of my camo'd armour - I'll have to rectify that. I'll try & dig out my painting notes too [although I don't use enamels...]
The links below should help.
