Hi

my Humbrol colour Chart lists 168 as satin Hemp, it also lists no match to Revell 362 Greyish Green.

Well, from looking at all the pictures, and reading all the posts, you could use anything from a light green to a dark green, a green/gray or olive drab.

I really dont see how anyone can name any specific paint numbers with regards to this subject, just paint it with what your happy with.

Hello Paul,maybe i stated wrong,but i was saying that both colors can be used,as Matt said almost every shade of Dark green,so its best to take a particular tank to model so you can know exact shade you need to use.

Kind regards,Sven.

I'm afraid that I will disagree, with this opinion.
We're not talking about the WWII Soviet era, when 4 different factories, were producing the Soviet Tanks, and were using various shades of 4BO, trying to cope with the war quota...

We're talking about an army of the biggest Balkan State... The army, that represented the union of 6 (if I'm not mistaken) different (as proved) nations and countries. If we take only this in mind, then it will be clear why, the JNA, had a uniform colour in its tanks, a single uniform for its soldiers e.t.c.

The different shades that we see in the war-time photos, are just the result of attrition and battle-ware of the same colour... Taking of course in mind, the quality of the cameras, the quality of the films used and other, similar facts...

So lets not let our selves carried away, by the colours printed in hasty, amateur pictures, and try to be a liitle more exact, in our representation of actual tanks...
in respect, of the official infos...

I'm sure that Sven, given the fact that is from the region, can provide us with information, that we cannot otherwise obtain...

Your free to disagree with my opinion, as I am free to disagree with yours,

But its still my opinion.

Hi Mauro,

nice efforts. I like your project. But please don´t forget. The Yugoslav Army never painted their vehicles in olive drab, pale green or some dark green colors as mentioned before. The standards color was "SMB - sivo maslinasta boja", what means "grey-olive color" or "olive grey-green color". Use Revell #362 with Revell #45. Mix it 2:1. You will match the JNA color 100%.

Don´t make mistakes by analizing pictures. It always depends on the outer circumstances and light when it was made. For example cloudy, rainy or shiny day. Parked in a military garage or in forrest. It also depends on the weathering itself. The JNA color used to become more lighter and more yellow as older the vehicles were.
