I'm trying to finish my BMP-1 for the "Get it done, again" campaign and have the AT-4 missile left to paint. My problem is what colour should it be? I have some reference pics which show it in silver, and others showing it grey or dark green. For an operational missile, what should the colour be?

Thanks,

Grant

This missile no AT-4, it's AT-3 Maljutka (Sagger).
9M111 Fagot (AT-4 Spigot)
AT-3 in BMP
Land based version

AT-3 Black, Blackisgreen, or yellowish green.

I know that silver is a training round.

Black, black-green, and mid-green are warshot SFAIK.

I have seen some other colors on AT-3, but have been told they were experimental. I seem to remember there was a mustard yellow one that supposedly had a chemical warhead...but that it was a experimental design in Iraq or something along those lines.
