OK, hopefully a couple quick questions.

I have a copy of the 25th Army Tank Brigade markings from Archer (nice, btw), but the background colour of the tac signs is black. Malcom Bellis' Datafile indicates that the background colour should be green. I will admit that green seems more usual for a brigade because black is usually reserved for divisional & other HQ units.

Anyone have an idea which is more correct?

Second question. Bellis lists the 4 regimental tac signs assigned to the 25th Brigade as 161, 162, 163 & 164. With NIH as 161 and 51 RTR as 162, I'm thinking I'm pretty safe with 163 for the 142 RAC. Am I?

Ta, much.

Paul
