In the 1980's, U.S. military developed new general-purpose vehicles which were intended to be used for a wide variety of military duties. Depending on the body type and fitted equipment, it could perform a wide range of roles. Of those different variants, the armament carrier type was one of the most numerous. Fitted with powerful armament such as an Mk.19 grenade launcher and M60 machine gun on a ring mount, they are used to guard units and important facilities in difficult conditions including the 1991 Gulf War, being vital for U.S. military activities. The kit features detailed suspension and realistic rubber tires. ?Included are a driver and gunner figures as well as 4 kinds of markings to depict a vehicle seen during the Gulf War.

Lastly, I tried mixing Tamiya's old recommendation for RAF Dark Green, XF-61 Dark Green, with XF-81. This is a 1:1 ratio mix of the two: First off, here's a comparison of RAF Dark Green versus GSI's Mr. Color 309, Green FS34079, since 34079 is often mentioned as a close approximation. Bear in mind that Mr. Color 309 dries to a semi-gloss sheen, versus the dead flat reference chip, making it appear a bit darker. We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

Mix: 5pts XF2 + 5pts XF15 + 1 pt XF52. Be careful with XF52 as too much will turn your resulting colour too mauve. Desert Pink needs of a definite pale pink appearance. The mix may benefit from a touch more white. Deep Bronze Green is mixed by 8pts XF5 + 5pts XF62 = Old dark colour. You need a satin varnish over this for the depth of colour. Used in India and Burma on British and Commonwealth vehicles from about late 1942 - 1945 so your Chinese & Indian Sherman Vs and M3 Lees can be real dull now, as can many softskins too. It would have helped. Mix 2 pts XF51 + 1 pt XF61 + 1 pt XF3.

Product Details

I found this on HMS Cornwall for anyone that might have the Kit, and who might be interested in painting her in an unusual colour, I found the attachment below, they have Cornwall in her launch/trial colour and then further colours, which I'm now considering What matters most to me with paint is performance, first and foremost in the airbrush. I don't shop around for paint - I buy it where I find it.

Not bad, imho. Certainly much closer than the others. The XF61 is much darker than the XF81, but still has a yellow-green (ie: "olive") cast to it, so it darkens the mixture enough without drastically altering the hue or chroma. Mix: 5pts XF61 + 2pts XF62 + 2pts XF3. This is fraction darker than the standard so a wee touch more XF3 won't hurt. Then allow for scale effect.The China Stations scheme is a much-repeated myth. It was white hull and Foreign Stations Grey (Admiralty Pattern 507C upperworks), not white and buff. This is the official colour used as one of the disrupters with Slate in the 'Caunter' scheme. In use on all types of AFVs and other vehicles in Egypt from mid to late 1940 till cancelled in December 1941. Mix: 7pts XF21 + 1pt XF19 +1pt XF4. Be careful with XF4 as even a little too much will throw this colour far too green. Err on the light side. Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or airbrushing. These paints can be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly, and can be blended easily. Prior to curing, paint can be washed away with plain water. Parts of winch and smokeless launcher are also prepared Add changes to the expression of the model and broaden the range of the scene development. pts XF2 + 1 pt XF3 + 1 pt XF57. It could stand a fraction more XF2 and perhaps a fraction less XF57 but if I tweaked it then the proportions of the other colours would be really silly.

These colours were the basic and disruptive colours respectively used from 1941 in UK and on vehicles in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy till end of the war in many cases. SCC1A was also used over SCC 15 in 1944-45. For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish.

What really is bothering me with the instructions, the Upper Hull above the Plimsoll Line and Superstructure, they've got it a Light Grey, Vallejo 907, Tamiya XF14 and Humbrol 147 with an addition of Model Master 1732, something I've never used, however, I wont be using this Light Grey, I really do feel a lot of Builders will be quite annoyed at the paint instructions, but like you Jamie, you'll probably throw them out altogether, which I really am now considering doing, seriously!
