Hi Guys

Whats the best colour green to use when painting british tanks etc.

I know US supplied tanks would have been supplied in Olive Drab and may or may not have been re-painted, But what about british built tanks like the churchill and cromwell, what colour green would they have been painted and is there anything in the Tamiya or Vallejo range that is a match.

Thanks

Paul
