Almost done the AVGP, definitely learned a fair bit about what not to do lol but it didn't turn out too terrible, I have to do some touch ups and I'll share the other angles. I'm gonna use this as a good starting point for my colors and do some palette testing while I wait on some more supplies...

Lol, but that's really cool. I never got to go to Germany yet sadly but my oma wants to do a family trip once, and I'm sure Lahr is on her tour list lol

Unfortunately i messed up a few coats, im so much more used to using a gun, and I don't even have an airbrush currently, I'm waiting to buy one actually. Right now it's just brushes you are right, I also didn't know I could thin with water, and didn't have any thinner until after my smart idea...

@FJAG @exspy @Colin Parkinson how are the colors for the 3 color camo now? The models almost done, im using it in preparation of the Centurion and M113 im buying, I did some color fine tuning but it's not sitting right with me still, it's also important cause these RC models are a lot more...

I basically want to have my colors as perfect as I can get them for when my 1/16 scale m113 and Centurion come, as well as an airbrush so I don't have these messy brush strokes

Lmaoo I know I was swearing all night freehanding it 🤣 I just got back into modeling for the first time in 20 years, I had no thinner so I had to make my own, no retarder, no air brush, no putty or painters tape 😅 I'm absolutely building an other AVGP model when my airbrush kit comes in lol it's...

How are these colors ? I followed a few guides and forums for paint colors, they look alright but ive never seen this scheme in person originally lol

Tbh if you do some work it's not awful lol it doesn't have to be an "LSVW" inside lol

Thats actually pretty cool, I was trying to buy an LSVW a while back to make a camper with

i was also reading that we didnt start airbrushing our vehicles until the mid 80s, and brush painting would also be acceptable (i dont own an air brush yet sadly)

thats a good point actually, i was just curious because the AVGP seems to be the only vehicle represented in a different color scheme than Canada 3 color or NATO 3 color, im waiting on my RC M113 to get here so im just trying to paint my 1/35 Cougar and Husky to get some practice in

Or were AVGP best represented in NATO 3 color?

Would the colors above also represent early AVGPs well ?

Here's a mock up of my colors, Custom green with XF-62 and XF-59, XF-65 Field Grey for the darker green, and XF-69 NATO Black for the black. edit it's not posting the updated pic my bad, colors above are basically what's in the camoflauge

Praying im getting the colors right
