Russian Green

[WigWag Workshop]

Good Day All!

Hope all has been well! I am dedicating 2014, to the year of the Russian builds. I am looking for opinions on Russian Green paint.
What brand and the color for that brand? It's does not matter if it's enamel or acrylic based. I am not asking whats the "BEST", just looking for your experiences and preferences

I will building all types of genres - Armour, Wingys, Floaties, and what ever else I can find

Any tips on finishing Russian Armour is greatly appreciated.

Thank You in Advance

Hello Steve,

I have an article from Mike Rinaldi that states that In his opinion, Lifecolor's Dark Green (UA 001) is the best match for 4BO Green. I personally havent used it, but i take Mike's advise to heart. Might be a good paint to try Steve.

Good luck fella,
Gary

The question is what green?

4BO was used before 1946, then it became another hue of green.

For 4BO I have used a mix of two tamiya tones, AK modulation set and now I have just got lifecolor's dedicated set. In my eyes the perfect one is the LC one.

For post war tanks I use Nato green as a correct match, but a friend of mine told me the perfect one should be vallejo's Russian Green.

I am building a few of those PST 1/72nd scale kits. I just finished the BA-20 Armored car, and currently building the ZiS-6 Truck.

Would I use LC's 4B0 or Vallejo's Russian Green?

Thank You for pointing out LC's dedicated set, I will definitely be ordering that when I get enough money, as I will be building a ton of Russian stuff in 2014.

Thanks Again for the insightful replies,

-Steven
