Maybe you know that, at the end of the WWII, some German tanks were dispatched from the factories without paint; just with their minium protection - Sometimes there were partially painted and partially "minium".
Yesterday, I made accidentally a good minium...
I own an old, damaged tank that I use for testing the fluidity of my paint for airbrushing; but also where I airbrush the excess of paint.
Working on my Egg-Zero, I sprayed on that tank the excess of Tamiya XF-71 (Japanese Cockpit Green). A little bit later, I sprayed over the XF-71 the excess of my egg-2000 Orange from Citadel Colors... And I was surprised by the result, who gives in my humble opinion a nice "minium"...

Always wanted to have those MisterKit colours, but never have ordered it...I wonder how they would go with paintbrush
Thank you for the confirmation, for the dope.
Mister Kit colors are applying well with paintbrush, I've tried and the result is good.

I've airbrushed the interior of the fuselage with German Dope Linen from Mister Kit Colors. I know that Eduard suggests to paint in Olive Drab but I think that dope is better because the green bands on the exterior of the fuselage were painted over dope...
Mister Kit Colors are, for what concerns WWI, very nice and on my humble opinion as correct as possible. But I don't like to use those paints; it's not evident. The best way to go with that I've found is to mix with Tamiya thinner... But even so doing, you must be very careful when airbrushing...
