    are you asking what colors to use? do you have an airbrush? I'm currently researching olive paint, and there are a few different hues...

    If you look at my posts in the modelling section, my '41 Willys, I think, is the proper color. I re-painted the shovel with Testors enamel #1165 Flat olive, and it's a pretty close match. The helmet on the driver is a Dragon in Dreams (DID) pre-painted metal helmet with webbing liner (amazing detail) and it matches the jeep in color as well.

    The "'38 Indian" is another post concerning olive drab in that I initially painted the bike in Humbrol #86 light olive, but it isn't the same color as the jeep, and I want them to match, for a cohesive look when they'll be photographed together. So I'm waiting for a tin of Humbrol #155 olive drab, and it might be what I'm looking for.

    In researching OD green, I learned that it is a mix of black, and ocher...flat colors I'd imagine...
