Hello everyone,

I am currently completing a Trumpeter Strv103B for the "Get The Job Done....Again" campaign.

I am at the building stage, but it should be ready to paint at the end of the month.

On the instruction sheet, it mentions to use RLM Gray (if I recall correctly). My question is simple, is this the right colour? If not, what would be the right colour (or close match) to paint it? I do not have a lot of pictures of the "B" model so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Check out IPMS Stockholms site:
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/
On the front page there there's a link to colour charts:
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/helpdesk.asp#color_charts
If you look deeper in there you'll find the section about Sweden:

The colour you should be looking for is Olive green 325M
