Hi! I'm in the process of making a diorama based on the late North African front, and I don't know what type of camo to use on the Universal Carrier kit that I'm including. The kit I bought, the old Airfix 1/76th scale kit (as you can tell , this is a diorama on a budget : P) doesn't include a scheme for North Africa, and I couldn't find one on the internet. Does anybody have any color pictures, illustrated or photographs, of one?

Thanks!

Scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you'll see several patterns. Unfortunately, they're in black and white. I'll check at home if I have a color image of a carrier. Click here

Thank you so much! The pictures are excellent, don't worry too much about finding color pictures of it, all that I need to know is what color the darker part of the camo scheme is. Would it be an olive drab, or would it be the light powder blue used in Africa?

Thanks again

That's one of the great and on-going debates, was powder blue used n the Caunter scheme?

So basically, I can choose what scheme I want to use?

The one inage I have in my books shows a solid desert yellow finish. I'd guess what those pictures show is desert yellow with green disruptive patterns.

Thank you so much for all of your help, hopefully in the next few months you'll be able to see my diorama in the dioramas section.

Thanks again!

You're quite welcome, Mr. Bond.
