I haven't started painting yet (I'm still fixing my MSH#1), but I've started collecting all the paint, and trying to nail down the ones I don't know. I thought I'd share where I'm at:
<LI> Panzer Olivegrun 1943-Testors-Dome /Cheeks
<LI> Red Primer-Rustoleum-Visor /Keyholes
<LI> Weathered Black-Floquil-Underside Cheeks
<LI> Euro Gray-Testors-Gray Scratches
<LI> Bright Silver-Floquil-Silver Scratches
<LI> Dullcoat-Testors-Finish
<LI> ?Equipment Yellow-Wal Mart-Stripes
<LI> ?Pumpkin Orange-Krylon-Back Stripes
<LI> ?Imperial Japanese Navy Green-Testors-Back of Helmet
<LI> ?Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943-Testors-Right Ear /Back Scratches
<LI> ?Gunmetal-Testors-Weathering Underside Cheeks
<LI> ?Undecided Purple-?-Visor Scratches
<LI> ?Spruce Green-Rustoleum-Left Earpiece
<LI> ?Undecided Red-?-Left Earpiece
I'm fairly certain on those with the "?" but I'm looking for some input /confirmation from all you others on the hunt. I'll have to make a trip out to the hobby store to get some more ideas on those purple /red colors.
[edit] I made a trip to the hobby store to try and find a good purple for the visor weathering. All the TESTORS purples were either too blue or had metal flake/ pearl in them. FLOQUIL has nothing purple. TAMAYA makes a lavender in a can that looks close, but I don't think it's right either. Any ideas?
