The American olive Lifecolor Olive Drab FS33070 carries the number of the American color standard in its designation, and on a model it is the surface on which damage reads best in the places the crew walked and on repair sprays.
Responsibility details are not available.
American olive is a color that rarely stayed uniform on real vehicles. It was topped up from different batches, repair sprays were done in the field, and the sun and the dust did as they pleased with it. The shade named Olive Drab with the number FS33070 in its designation is therefore a surface that, in the subject of aging, is worth taking from the start as a set of layers of different ages rather than as one coat.
The simplest approach is to lay the shade over the whole model and then play it out: brighten the middle of large panels, darken the joints and shadows, mix individual parts and hatches deliberately a little differently so that they look like a later replacement. Scrapes then go over that. On American vehicles they are most prominent in the places of contact with the crew: the edges of hatches, grab handles, steps, footrests on the turret and the edges people climb over. Here the paint does not disappear at random but in polished strips in the direction of movement.
It is for modelers of American vehicles who want a surface with a history of its own, and for anyone who wants to try how a whole scale of states can be built from a single olive color, from a new spray to a worn edge with a first cast of rust.
