Hi all,
I am making a Royal Marines Sherman, out of the old DML M4A4 kit, and have a few questions....
I was wondering about the colours of fire extingushers on british M4A4`s?
Were they red, as with the most extingushers, or are they dark/british green.
What colour should the inside of the hatches and the sight blocks be, off white, or olive drab/british green.

Any help would be great,
many thanks

External fire extinguishers seem to be a dark green colour, which appears to be slightly darker than SCC15 (judging by a colour photo of a Crocodile on the IWMs photodatabase anyway). Hatches etc would be the exterior colour which might still be the original US OD unless the tank had been reworked.
