BRITISH DESERT ARMOUR

I was a bit worried these would be too dark, but the light sand base coat is perfect for a weathered look. They covered the model in just two thin coats.

The four shades blend together beautifully for a weathered desert look, and the coverage is solid enough that I only needed two thin coats on my model. I’ve used them to do a quick dry-brush over a base coat and the tones shift exactly like period photos of Commonwealth armor.

Finally, a set that actually nails the specific British and Commonwealth shades for North Africa—the light stone and sand tones are spot on. I’ve been using them for a Tamiya Crusader and the coverage is surprisingly good for acrylics, even over a dark primer.
