Sherman Tanks Colour Set 2...
...new acrylic colours set from Ammo of Mig Jiminez
Linked to their release of a new book filled with colour profiles of the Sherman Tank in WW2 (reviewed separately in the Book Review section of this site), this new set is one of three sets of colours associated with the Sherman. This one is number 2 in the series of three, and covers the European Theatre of Operations during WW2. So, if you are looking for some inspiration on what finish to give your latest Sherman model, have a look through the profiles in their book and here you have the necessary colours to follow through on a chosen project. To start you off there are a few examples given on the back of the box they come in.
​
Two of the colours are their 'Washable' paints, so once applied, you can use water to then thin them down to create weathered effects, such as dust coatings and a worn, temporary winter white camouflage. As is usual with Ammo, the pots contain a ball bearing which is really useful in helping mix the paint properly when you shake the bottle before use.
​

-
A.MIG 0926 Olive Drab Base
