To add on to what others have said here- if you want to get better, make a "timeline" of models. For example, I'm a sucker for the German 3-tone color scheme, so I've started doing a line of 1:72 tanks, all German, all 3-tone, all weathered for the same environment. Each one gets the date of completion penned on the bottom, so I can line them up in the order I built them in order to look and see how I've progressed.

And profiteering? OF COURSE!! The U.S. industrial might supplied all the allies with equipment. Not only that, but the ships that transported soldiers everywhere. Oh and between 1939 and 1941, U.S. mine sweepers and destroyers were already in action. But why get dragged into another European war? And I'll add this, not only did the U.S. supply everyone, but it fought on almost every continent, every ocean, strategically bombed not only European targets, but pacific targets and targets for the USSR because they didn't have a heavy bomber force. Add in this for those other myth believers, the USSR would not have gone anywhere without lend lease. Besides supplying aircraft and armor and munitions, the U.S. also supplied precious metals to make parts and grain and food. Why? Because the USSR couldn't feed not only their army but the civilian population too, same thing happened in the 80s during the cold war. And this...the U.S. had over 100 D-days. And when the war ended? The U.S. came up with the Marshall plan. Spending billions remaking Germany Japan and Europe. So slow it down on the myth bullshit. It doesn't work in the day and age.

Outstanding OD! I have been using your "reverse" technique for a good many years. I can't tell you the amount of grief I've put up with for doing it "backwards". Today, I somehow feel vindicated. WWII American OD is difficult to do, and get it right. I have failed at it numerous times. I had suspected that Tamiya had changed their OD formula, but; wasn't sure. To my eye, their Khaki now seems closer to the older OD they made. In any event, very interesting mixes. Anyone interested in a good formula really should bookmark this. Good show!

That example you showed regarding the stars was painted black. The formula for OD was changed in 1942 after the US lost their source of linseed oil to the Japanese, and as a result it became a lot less dark. On top of that the only reason pre war olive drab looks as dark as it did is because during peacetime the vehicles were gloss varnished to keep the paint looking presentable for parade, which as we all know also darkens paint. After 1942ish it was relatively dark but nowhere near as much as you suggest

Anyway, I will put my thoughts on a separate comment. Have you ever considered making *PT-91 "Twardy"*? Most of them are pretty much worn and torn since the extensive use of it. Such beaten T-91 could be an intriguing thing and maybe a bit of challenge since there are no PT-91 models (on the market), so the one needs to be custom made out of the T-72M1 model. Also, the *T-72M4CZ* is a deep modernization I like a lot. Maybe you would find any worn one as an inspiration for such a built? I consider both designs as a solid effort as very restricted by the tiny budgets they had. Thank you for your effort and awesome content.
