it's a long long way ... : - \
returned home, I found the oil color in the inbox, finally! here's some tests:
I tried olive green, raw umber, white. the main objective here is to understand wich is the best base color.

I think it's the bottom right: Fokker olive green plus RLM 02.
9316
the green it's too brilliant, but with some black I suppose it should be good. also, the white it's too much prominent, I guess.
9318
and now we are trying to understand wich is the best technique ... acrylic or oil-based. on the left we have acrylics on dump base, and oil on the right. the base too wet leads to bad results, in my opinion (bottom left).
9337
it seems acrylic shows his best if a little diluted and applied to the base once wet... but it is difficult to control. the paint dries very quickly, so the errors are impossible to correct. here two WWII germans greens.
9338
the oil. here the olive green corrected with black (left) and with some raw umber. Here it is easier to correct mistakes, but it is difficult to maintain strips with sharp edges.
9339
so, conclusion? ...not yet, keep on going...
