Also, any good spray primers in these colors, for ease of painting?

Thanks!

You might try AP's Wolf Grey, it is a bluish grey and could skew to French/Prussian blue with a blue wash. Or you could see if Tamiya has a Horizon Blue military spray paint that you could use, then knock it down with a black wash.

Of the above, which uniform would you use?

Also do the tanks look kriegy?

Would this be a good primer?

That might be a good first layer and then do a drybrush or zenithal technique with a lighter color.

Thing about spray paint is that it sticks to plastic pretty well.

It can be easier to darken up a light than lighten up a dark. You might look for a more grey hued blue as Navy blue might be too dark blue to start with; especially if you are going for a French/Belgian WWI greatcoat color.

Colors can be misrepresented on websites so if you can find a hobby shop that carries those paints you might get a better idea. Also cap color is only an approximation of the contents, instead of buying just one can get a couple or three different rattle cans that seem to be in your range.

would It?

I was thinking about using it. Given my tanks are a lot blue, would Gray uniforms look good with the tanks?
