Hi All,
I'm trying to determine the most likely colors for this vehicle as represented on Echelon's ALT352006. It belongs to the Scots Greys, A Squadron, North Africa, 1942. The instruction sheet does not provide any color suggestions but represents the colors as a light tan, light green, and light brown. Echelon suggests you buy Mike Starmer's books to figure out the colors. OK...
I'm sure the light tan is Light Stone 61. After several hours of googling I'm thinking the green could be Dark Green, or Dark Slate BS34 and the brown could be Very Dark Brown S.C.C.1A. I did find a reference on Hyperscale that 3rd RTR Grants were possibly painted Light Stone, Silver Grey 28 and Light Purple Brown 49.
Anyways, I would be most appreciative if anyone would like to chime in with opinions or facts on what the most likely colors were for this vehicle. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. And I thought Japanese aircraft colors were confusing!

John
