Hey guys,

I've found these photo's of a Sherman Flail. And I have an unpainted Sherman Flail waiting to be painted But I can't make up what color the artist might have used. I usually paint with Tamiya painting but i'm also able to aquire Humbrol or Vallejo.

This would be it:
Sherman Flail

Cheers Remi

I guess you should find the modeller: but saving that, why don't you ascertain what would be a good representation of SCC15 and/or US Olive drab, the actual paint used on the Flail and M4A4?

Conventional wisdom is that aged SCC15 was like US Olive drab but with a slightly greener tint. (remember, SCC15 was the British equivalent to US Olive Drab)

Ok it seems that I found the right color mix for my sherman:


SCC15
XF-1:1 + XF-26:4 + XF-52:4

Found this one on another modelling website.

Cheers Buck
