Just ordered a troop of Shermans for NW Europe; Any suggestions for spray paint? |

Testor's Model Master Olive Drab (OD is always a good place to start) |

I use Rust-Oleum camo spray. Available in any local Walmart or hardware store here in the US. One of the greenish colors (dark or light) is what you want. |

Check out your local Halfords, they do some new spray cammo paint |

I would use a matt black car spray and then use a brush and an olive drab colour to start with. |

Several companies – certainly PSC and Bolt Action – do suitable sprays; Fog of War probably do as well. If you decide to brush rather than spray Vellejo Russian Uniform (924) is generally considered a good starting point for late war British armour and Brown Violet (Vallejo 887) for US or lend-lease US kit used by the Brits before its first visit to REME. |

PSC sprays are the best minis branded sprays. The brit armored color is pretty good. |

As ever, a great response from TMPers; thanks to one and all. |

I agree, the PSC spray covers beautifully, and dries very thin, the detail is all still there, and their British tank colour, apologies, I forget it's actual designation, is spot on. John |
