Taking advantage of favorable weather (not too hot, got done before the winds kicked in) I got in some quality airbrush time. As part of it, I painted a spare M113 hull with three different OD paints.

Testors Model Master Enamel Olive Drab FS34087 is on both ends to provide a direct comparison against the two acrylic colors – Vallejo's US Olive Drab surface primer and Testors' acrylic version of OD FS34087 (it doesn't call it that on the label, but it does so on the display rack.

As I found when I was going to repaint a model that I did 30+ years ago, the Model Master enamel is an exact match for the GroCo military surplus OD that I used on that model.

The enamel paints seem to have a deeper look than the acrylic paints. I like enamel paint better, but it is much harder to clean off brushes.
