    Preliminary work, paint colors are a pain in the ass...I used Humbrol 86 which is light olive, but it's not the color I want, I ordered some Humbrol 155, and hopefully that's the color I'm looking for. If not, I know Testors flat olive will work. BTW a couple helpful hints I'm learning...
    you can thin acrylic with 1 part alcohol 2 parts paint, with maybe a drop or 2 of water to slow paint drying in the airbrush...

    Enamel thins with paint thinner (mineral spirits) 50-66% paint to thinner, or 1-2 parts paint to 1 part thinner...

    In the first pic you can see the barbed wire I made in upper right corner...
