is that "desert yellow"?

thanks a lot

seb

That's my tank!

Unfortunately it was painted so long ago I am struggling to remember the colour.

It was probably Tamiya or maybe GW desert yellow. In either case washed with brown ink.

I now use vallejo middlestone

do you have a picture of you tank with the middelstone color?

This is Tamiya TS-3 dark yellow, also washed with brown ink and highlighted with off-white.

waw thanks a lot. and what color are the us tanks on the back of the piture?

Those are british tanks, and i used catachan green, with a highlight of catachan green/kommando khaki

thanks a lot :)

Don't know how it is called these days, can't find the paint compatability chart now, as i'm at work

dont know if u can help me but i saw some pics of us tanks with red and yellow decals on the front (very small one). but i cant find them on pendraken's website. do you know where to find it?

Again they are British tanks. U.S. tanks tend to only have white markings - usually a few stars and the odd small number. British tanks were much more colourful, with the divisional and regimental markings on the front of the tank. And coloured geometric shaped on the turret for troops. The decals are from Scale Specialties. They do a very nice sheet for a british armoured dvision.

My tanks ( in the background of the Pendraken home page ) were painted a while ago - I think with Tamiya. I tend to use Vallejo Russian uniform now, which is a bit greyer than the quite bright green I used previously.


Also the tank you first linked to isn't a desert one. The Germans moved to dark yellow as a general basecoat from 1943.

That's a really great web page!!



Ok, it's one of mine...  It's a touch worrying that I have forgotten what WWII web pages I have written, and then just type it all up in a new post. I'll blame it on too much time playing fantasy games
