You were asked – TMP link Let's imagine that you have some Shermans in 15mm that you intend to use for the Northern European Theater in WWII. What color do you prime them? 32% said "olive drab"
27% said "black"
9% said "gray" |

A great way to speed up painting is to prime your figures in the dominant base color. |

But… what is a good spray can WW2 OD? |

I think Vallejo does a good spray "OD". I recall Tamiya as well. OD can be quite subjective. |

Dry brush tan and wash with dark green and your good to go ! |

Testors Flat Olive Drab #1265 works pretty good. |

Spray paint a darker green. Then drybrush with whatever you think is Olive Drab. Finish the tracks and parts of the vehicle with mud. No vehicle is nice and clean in the field; much less in combat. |

Several shades… and vehicles in same unit not always same colour. |
