Title: Sprays and highlights for vehicles - Question
Post by: londoncalling on December 09, 2021, 03:43:43 PM: I was thinking of finally tackling some German armour over Christmas, and was considering the grey and dunkelgelb Psc sprays.
I don't have, or see much use in getting into an airbrush, so was wondering, for the above colours are their recommendations for near equivalent bottles I could then use for the highlights?
Thanks all

After that, I guess you would follow a regular tutorial that uses Vallejo paints to find what other colours you should use for shade/highlight/camo patterns?
