Putting on the War paint – painting 28mm Apaches

I was recently asked how I was going to paint my 28mm Apaches. Well here is the low down:

Step 1:

After removing any excess flashing mount on a 28mmm round base and lightly undercoat with Tamiya TS3 spray.

Step 3:

Splash Citadel “Agrax Earthshade” over the flesh colour. This is best done last thing at night so it is completely dry next time you take up the paint brush.

Step 6:

Paint all of the clothing, boots, and weapons. I have used the red to provide a bright unifying colour.
