Lovely Flogger trio 👍 What are the camo colours used?

Robert Podkoński
Great job!

gorby
WOW, amazing!

Martin von Schreckenstein
thank you Lukasz, Robert and gorby!

the camo paints were Mr.Color H310 for the light brown, Ammo 0232 for dark green and Mr. Color H320 for light green - very happy with those shades. Dark brown was literally last drops of Mr.Color Cocolate Brown H423? it was super old and I could not find new one available anywhere. I mixed it with IPA and some darker color to dilute it so that there is more of it and looks darker. the dark brown was quite a process and I dont think I would be able to replicate it which is sad as there will be similar issues with asia minor dark brown for my tomcats in the future. (the dark brown from the instructions was some Ammo RLM Schwartzgrün which was way too bright and reddish for my fancy)

for the underside shades, i used Mr.Color paints referenced in the instructions but the blue was not blue enough and the grey was maybe slightly too dark? i would definitely look for a different shade for the underside blue next time im making a CSLA Flogger

Welcome mates! No new pictures yet but I managed to work on the pre shading, so the actual paiting can begin soon.
To, hopefully, save me some trouble I will check some colour conversion tables and compare which I need for this tank and the Edelweiss.

As I intend to use my Tamiya paints instead of buying the ones in the guide I maybe have to eyeball the colours. So even if the colours are not completely accurate I want at least both tanks to look the same, if I am supposed to use the same blue on both, for example.

There are lighting kits for both tanks but I will simply paint the radiator style "exhausts" of their engines as the machines in the world of Valkyria Chronicles do not run on petrol or diesel but on a substance called "ragnite" instead. That is also one of the reasons there are no exhaust pipes on the tanks. Instead the "radiators" are molded in clear plastic, which I will paint in clear blue.

I am also not sure yet how much I will weather both tanks, probably only some light to medium chipping and a low amount of dust, dirt and splatters.

First coats of paint applied. Next step I have to prepare and apply the masks before I can paint the second colour.

Loved that game! Following!

Managed to apply the camo but later I noticed I should have masked some areas on the tank's side too. Luckily it's hidden behind the armor skirts.
Need to paint the tools next.
Colour is probably not that accurate but oh well. I hope I can remember which I used for the blue. I had to do a bit of mixing. Need to apply them on the Edelweiss too.

Made considerable progress on the Shamrock. Camouflage and weathering are done and the tank has been sealed in several coats of gloss coat before I applied the wash. After that it was another few cloats of flat varnish by Mr Hobby.
While that cured I painted the tools and then applied dark aluminium to all raised bolts or screws to make them pop a bit more.
Now the tank itself is done. On the pictures there is still missing a "hook part" that belongs to the tools. I found it in the meantime and it's drying after receiving some metal paint.

Next will be the base. Depending on how that will turn out I will apply a bit more dirt to the tank to make it looks not so out of place.

Torsten
Nice, looking forward to more 🙂

Mirko Römer
Striking doomsday paintjob! 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thank you mates!
Made some progress on its base. Decided for a peaceful looking field with some flowers. I want to add some verticality, maybe some telephone pole or something. I am not sure yet.

Eine gute Recherche, ist schon der halbe Weg zum Erfolg. Ich schau da mal weiter zu.

Very Nice 🙂

Marius, I'm glad you're taking up this interesting project again.
Very nice color scheme! It's the same scheme that this Mig-15 UTI? Egyptian Warriors (Condor Decals 72014, 1:72)
