(erielack) Erie two-tone green... getting warmer!



My mind is horrible, but I'd like the thank the individual on this list
(whose name slips my mind) who recommended using Polly Scale military colors
for the Erie two-tone green. His suggestion of "Imperial Japanese Navy
green" (or "I.J.N. Green" on the bottle) for the dark green is right on! The
color looks fantastic!

For the slightly more difficult gray-green color, I chose Polly Scale
(another military color) "German RLM 84 Sky Green." The color looks *very*
close to me (Harry Scholz: Could you paint up a piece of styrene with the
Accu-Paint color so I can compare). If anyone has these in their local shop,
I suggest you give these two colors a try, as they seem like a good fit to
me! (I think a slight brown overspray on the colors will work wonders, as
most photos of Erie two-tone equipment I see has a nice coat of road dirt on
them).
