Can you give me colour recommendation for Czech armour? I want to finish my Kladivo as Czech Army tank- but I don't know what paint should I use.

TIA

From what I have seen of Czech armor, I would say go with Olive Grab with a bit of Field Gray added to dull the green down a little.

Blaster,

I have several samples of original Soviet green from their AFV. But I'm not sure if paint on modern Czech vehicles looks the same. I found photos of Kladivo on FMJ site- colour on this tank is quite different (dark and deep green).

Regards,

Michal
