Hello, before tackling with the more complicate camo of modern Russian tanks, I starting up a Soviet force for Afghanistan. What base color would be the most appropriate for 1979-88? -"Russian" green
-brown?
-other?… If brown, any suggestion in Vallejo? thanks a lot! |

ah, just forgot I had the movie "9th company"… Apparently, green and camoed AFVs. |

I use the Tamiya spray cans but you can't get em anymore here in the UK. I think the colour was IJA green? |

More rusted than charred these days, when you run across one. |
