OK, I have to admit I can't remember the last time I needed to paint anything olive drab, I primarily build anything but American planes. I'm rapidly approaching the point where I need to paint the upper surfaces of my A-36 in the Operation Torch campaign and I'm not totally sure which OD to use. I have some Xtracolor ANA613 OD which is labeled WWII. This seems very dark to me, not that it matters as I'm going to be bleaching the heck out of it, I also have from the same company FS14084 OD which appears to be slightly lighter and more to the yellow side and finally Model Master OD FS 34087 which is way more to the yellow side and looks more like a modern usage OD.
Any comments or suggestions ? Note: I'm not an acrylic guy, Old Dog is too old to learn new tricks and I'm comfortable with solvent based paint, my experience with acrylics has led to variable results and I'm just not comfortable with trashing a build using them.
