Re: ...THAT PANZER IV...DUNKELGELB (Feb./16th)
Dear.
I am not too sure about the colors of camouflage (tritonal) that I just did ... I thought they were very clear ... that way I aimed two goals:
...first,the scale effect,and
... second, that after applying the filters the color will be darker ...
I'm not too sure if this will give favorable results ...
I would love that ... you saw the pictures and give their opinions...it will help me so much...
...first the colors that I used to the camo job...
...the brown shade...
....the green one...
...the green applied...
...and the brown...
...thanks for watching...sujestions will be welcome

Re: THAT PANZER IV...TRITONAL and a HELP!!!!
To me the green is too lite and washed out. I wonder if you will lose it when you do a wash. The brown also looks lite and washed out, but looks better. Not much help I know, but that is what I am seeing on my monitor. I have some of that paint but havent used it yet. Maybe Iron Mike could give a thought as I know he has used it.

Re: THAT PANZER IV...TRITONAL and a HELP!!!!
The little cards where you have the colors tested. I'm assuming you have applied the filters as a test of what the color will look like once filter is applied?
Perhaps you can do the same with one of the armor plates, apply the filter and see how the camo behaves before applying to the entire model?

Re: THAT PANZER IV...TRITONAL and a HELP!!!!
I have found that all the colors need to be very vibrant before filter application. Otherwise you end up with a muddy mess. IMO as the tank stands now, the colors are way to close in tonal quality to stand up to filtering. Unfortunately I think you need to lighten up the dark yellow some, then increase the chroma of the camouflage colors.

So what would you add to these base colors to make them more vibrant?

To my eye, the green could be bolder, yellow and brown look good. The colors always look stark right out of the paint booth, filters tone them down. As Dr John said, if they aren't and are too much the same, it just blends everything.
I'd suggest darkening the green and see how you feel about it. Fading the colors with buff and grey filters have worked best for me.

Hello Luiz,
About Vallejo and similar paints, I tried and I tried but I do not fit with Vallejo/AK paint colors for freehand cammo like Gunze or Tamiya. Vallejo and AK are very good but are not exactly ideal for the transition between colors soft edge or so, or I can not achieve it as I can with Gunze, Tamiya and even with enamel Humbrol (my favorite enamel) paints IMO. I use them for brush and one color paint job.
Hot temperature just can spoil a thing more for me
I have to repeat myself this is a beautiful kit Luiz!
All the best!

Luiz, no metter waht the job is fantastic.
Maybe a ajust in green, and the rest looks good for me. But I'm not a expert in armour building. I'm doing more airplanes since I'd return to the hobby. But one day I'll run on dust to!
Quanto as tintas acho que uma escurecida no verde, é o necessário. As outras cores estão corretas, acho que ao fazer o wash e o weathering as cores receberam uma leve homogeinizada...
Essa minha humilde opinião.
Abraços e na expectativa.
