What rocket are these?

Bradley from the 47th Mech Brigade. Looks like they’re not bothering with the Pixel Camo anymore

I can spot some pixel schemes there tho iit appear to be a weared down.

Question about colors. What color or effect do you use on the twin pin tracks?


Steel, silver and aluminum seem too bright.

Question 2. what shade of green is this?

If you use Tamiya Field Grey you’ll be close enough.

I use the revell green variant, with some weathering, it worked on my meng T90A I may actually finnish this month

That is Russian ‘Protective Green’- AMMO do a good version of it.

As for the tracks I would start with a dark brown or black-brown color and then add various metal colors- the brightness is not such a worry at this stage because afterward you can then add whatever colors or pigments work with the environment you are going with. Running a pencil over the high points afterward should give it that natural metallic look.

I like your idea but that really depends on the environment it might be displayed in. The one Top asked about is the flip side. I would probably paint steel and add brown/dark washes to tone the brightness. You can also play with the primer color of black, gray or white to see which one works for you.

Yes, of course its whatever suits the modeller- that was just my $0.02 and the way I would tackle it.
