I decided to play with different tones considering the tank had several components mounted at different times.
For the tank, I used the same OD combo from AK RC, so dark OD and Faded OD, and then lightened it with Tamiya Dark Yellow.
For the water drum, I used the same AK combo, but lightened with Buff. I made it very pale as it came from an older tank (possibly M3 Stuart?)
And for the chimney stacks I used light grey for the highlights.
OD is a wonderful paint because it really faded into all these colors, so there’s plenty to choose from! The yellow highlight on the tank will also play nicely with the sand-colored camouflage on the turret. That’s the most intimidating part for now, as I’ll probably apply it with a brush just like on the real tank and try to post-shade it afterwards.
Also, the model is very glossy right now, so it’s hard to properly capture all the color variation 😊

I do like the tonal variations you have recreated here on the OD, Martin. It looks really, really good. It’s at a good point for weathering. I’m really enjoying your King Kong project 👍😎 Cheers 🍻

Indeed. That's why I'm always happier with a pale base coat, even if it's inaccurate. The washes always tone it down to a reasonable finish.

Very pale indeed, but wait until the pin washes are applied :) It'll all get balanced out.

Just the dark OD from AK as a shadow base coat, then OD Faded from AK as the "actual" color and mixed that with Dark Yellow, Buff, Light Grey from Tamiya for post-shading :)

Very nice sir! The base shades are the hardest for me. All the washes and pigments change the base colors so much!
Stephen Winchell

Looking good! Post shading OD is so much fun. Did you use AKs modulation set or craft your own this go?
