Here, I have done a test spraying with my airbrush experimenting with the European DK green. When the US med green comes in tomorrow, I will post a comparison pic for ya.

Ok, got to painting today, pic 1 is inside with a light on and flash any daylight left.

Pic 2 is taken outside with hardly

Pic 3 is the comparison.

The dark green looks closer to that italian olive spray paint. The only other question is, should I seal this with anything for a protective layer? Or will it be fine?

How would you say the Euro Dark green compares with the US Med Green? From your pics it doesn't look too dark, but maybe too blue.

Ok, this morning I check on the armor, and didn't realize it left such a rough coat on it, so I used a real fine sandpaper and cleaned it up, than added a new coat. Later in the afternoon I decided to do the details on it. The weatherin pics aren't shown, but I did that a little bit ago.

Thanks! I'll eventually get a bottle of US Med Green, and see if I can tweak the Euro Green to better match it.

The US Med green looks great in person. Gotta find out why my camera sucks. The Euro dark green looks a bit like a flat Spray of Hunter Green.

I picked up a bottle of the Polly US Med Green, and tested it vs. a lightened Euro Dark green. I didn't get it quite light enough, but no matter as it has way too much blue in it. I also tried out a lightened Topside green, which was closer, but also too blue. Seems too much trouble to keep mixing to match it. If I end up using Med Green, I'll just use the acrylic and keep my enamel air brushing on top.
