Ok so you want to go with a new camo colour I know the three you learning to but look at these ones. yes! Blue ones yes!
Paint the whole body in XF-19 Sky grey then use XF-63 German grey and XF-54 dark sea grey as the strip colours.
with the strips paint them free hand with the airbrush no shape edges yes!

Oh they are your three base German Tank colours.
You could use XF-60 dark yellow, Nato brown XF-68 and XF-67 Nato Green, German Desert colours there was only two XF-60 dark yellow and XF-59 desert yellow. For the winter camo they just put white wash over the camo.
Good to see that you are thinking about colours luke.

The Explorer will look killer Al, black or red brown wheels? I like the idea of painted the windows too :D

The Lambo will be nice in flat colours. I do like the 3 blues yes! Is the digital camo sheet vinyl stickers?

No airbrush for me so if I build anything it won’t be until after winter.
