dhamilton Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I recently started building Takom’s Krupp 420mm Howitzer (Big Bertha) and one of the schemes is for a gray, green and brown version. Im hoping someone can steer me towards which gray the German military used during WW I. It looks a bit like the early WWII gray seen on German Armor, but I don’t know. Any help you all could offer would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanKrueger Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The Takom instructions call out a MIG 909 Light Grey Base. Looking at images of the paint bottle, it appears very dark so I don't have a good answer for you but these guys might. You will need to register but worth the effort. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/world-war-i-1920s-and-1930s-f282066/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhamilton Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thanks Brian!! I was able to figure out what I needed. I'll be using colors from the AK line of paints that match the color guide well. Not ready to apply any paint yet, but I have them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanKrueger Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Looking forward to your build. It is a very interesting and rather large piece of equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhamilton Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I’ll post some pictures as I go. So far it’s been a really fun build, and am making steady progress!! As for the size, it’s huge!! I had some of the sub assemblies at our club meeting last week, and had it placed next to a completed Panther tank. It’s gonna be big!!
