PC10 - World War 1 green
« on: December 09, 2021, 02:01:52 PM »
Hi all, advice please, what is the best out of the pot colour to use?
There is a lot of different advice on the internet.

Here is the real recipe/
The PC10 Recipe

Lets see for 100 gallons (Imperial btw) of PC10 dope
260 pounds nitro Cellulose syrup
74 pounds of pigments in the following proportions
40 pounds yellow ochre
30 pounds umber
2 pounds 8 ounces Red Ochre
1 pound 8 ounces Chinese Blue.

Once that lot was assembled it was added to
20 gallons Acetone or Methyl ethyl ketone
15 gallons Amyl Acetate
15 Gallons benzol
15 gallons Methylated spirit

Sounds like a lovely mix.

Vallejo 883?

I’ve used an Ammo mig colour called green moss on my whippet, I’ll find you the number if you want, or you can use the one I’ve got if you want.
