Hi Leon, I think the field drab is really a dark color, the only point is that it will fade merciless in the desert sun. Some filters in a dust color on your model should fix that, and contrast is a good thing, why else should everyone want to modulate his dark-yellow? Cheers, Tobi |

Where'd the Tank go? All I can see in the pics are a door, some curtains, and a empty tabletop I would have to say that your camo works really well Nice job Brother Leon. |
