I like that....Base with straight Tamiya Olive Drab. To lighten mix Olive Drab 80% to Dark Yellow 20%. Hit majority of model with lightened mix leaving some shadows / edges with the straight Olive Drab. Darken lower if desired.
Very informative info to fade olive drab. I never would've gotten that right either. I would've added a tiny bit of white and ended up with yuck causing me to use words that match that. No doubt about it, you're a bad ass modeler for sure. Love your vids!
Great info. I’m new to the world and have a Sherman to build. Do you need to reduce the Tamiya jars of paint for airbrushing or does it flow through the airbrush good?
At what psi do you run your compressor at? To do this fading... I need to know when I do my m4a3e8. Great videos by the way! Just found your channel recently
The best thing about your videos is the music! Classic music fits so much better to scale modelling videos than dubstep or sth. like that. Now i can listen to modelling videos again. Thanks!
Thank you so much Andy. I'm working on a Vietnam diorama. Godbless you sir
Black and yellow make OD?
Mind BLOWN.

How do you fade dark green on Russian armor? Same concept, add dark yellow?
I run my compressor at 20 psi
Thanks good sir, Sherman prep work is almost done. About ready for some primer , then off to the painting!
did you paint fury on the barrel or is that decal?
I painted it on

Hi Andy. If you use this 80/20 mixture technique is the Nato Black & White shadowing technique still applicable or is it too much? Thanks
Very good videos and a great tip on lightening olive drab with dark yellow works a treat 👍👍👍👍
the olive drab im using actually looks brown and I dont know why
Great video . Thank you!
i've never prefered to use airbrushes because they cost about 50 bucks and I don't usually spend that much on tools
Cust- Ials They generally lasts for years. Definitely worth the investment.
What air pressure do you suggest
how do make olvie drab auto paint darker
looks awesome Andy. would love to see you do this technique on more of your models! superb bro
Can you just use Fx60
Could you suggest a good brand of air brush for 1/35 scale models?
Looks great. Great tip about adding yellow and german dark yellow. Thanx!
Learn something new everyday:)......

Interesting - I'm might have a go at undercoating/pre-highlighting with a pale yellow instead of white for my next Sherman...
....the 2 who disliked this are maybe pros who can fade OD with white, but won't share =)
thats awesome.. could you give me a heads up on what airbrush kit youre running with please?
thanks !!! the clarity of your video and your simple explanation is a great help to beginners like me.
I just leave my tank sitting on the windowsill till it fades.............JUST KIDDING.
+mailperson that doesn't work in Phoenix the kit just melts. lol thanks for watching
Brilliant Brilliant been looking all over for this great work and tips :) thanks
Andy you are the man!
Do you have to have a high end airbrush setup to attain the same results?
+Les Laxson No , for single color most airbrushes will do fine , the better airbrushes are better at fine detail and camo.
How did you marked the word, Fury?
+Luft hansa Just some white paint and a fine paint brush
The Sherman is great
is it adding xf60 to xf62 to give it that faded look?
+Wayne “tail end charle” lazenby yes add dark yellow to olive drab
nice tutorial. it's a hard color to paint and get it right. fading it just right to bring out the wow factor. again cool vid.
so you add dark yellow to tamiya olive drab right?
+Fernando Duarte yes
Or basically any brand
yes that will work

As soon as I saw you dip a yellow brush into your black paint pot, I cringed. Hard.
Thank you..
