can anyone give me the right russian green paint they have used make or#of to spray on? thanks

There is no standard russian green. It was basically anything they can get hold off. Dark green from Tamiya never look right to me, so it is either olive drab which is not green enough for me, or olive green which is usually the one I used. or there is now an olive green 2 or something like that. This is all Tamiya spray bomb I am referring to.

perfect thanks Mike just bought a 1/16 scale russian tank static model good find thanks again

If you are using a rattle can Vallejo Hobby Colour  Russian 4BO  is excellent. You should be able to do the whole T-34 with a can and a half. That's all I used on mine

For accurate information on the painting of soviet tanks. Home — 4BO Green

(The colour used in WWII was called "Protective Green 4BO")

Once again thanks for the great googling skill. How the heck does that help us paint our tanks ?

is that paint bought on line or where can I get it?

Sunward or Wheels and Wings both have it for the same price. Not sure of the shipping. $70 order gets you free shipping from Sunward. I used to be resistant to ordering online if I could drive to get it but with the price of gas...........

Is Vallejo the only one that makes it ? I am fine with Vallejo just curious if others do.

Next time I am out I will stop by and stock up on it.

I will try it on my SU-152.

I am curious as it look surprising like this one:

I used this as a green base primer. Martin, can I bring mine up to compare to yours in Vallejo 4BO ?

This is what it looks like:

The Vallejo 4BO with some slight dust weathering. (I've given up on ever thinking an image will post right here) I actually like it better than the Tamiya rattle cans there just isn't the selection of colours and is a lot less expensive. I used it on both the KVs. The KV-1 I did with Tamiya Olive Drab but after the first coat I re-did it with the Vallejo. Thought the Tamiya was a bit dark. Mike I'm good if you want to do a side by side with the T-34
