Hi all!
A quick question that has been brought up on here a few times but appears to never really been answered as far as I could see searching through the site is; what colour, from the Humbrol range preferably, do you use for WW2 British armor? I have both the Universal Carrier that needs spraying and hopefully soon AFV's AVRE kit. If no Humbrol colour, a close enough FS number would also do or in Tamiya.
I plan to weather them a bit, so close enough is good enough for me.

Cheers all,
Nick

Hi

For late war British I use Humbrol 155 olive Drab

For early war British I use Humbrol 75 Bronze Green.

Thats just what I use though, others will have their own choices.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for that. I will probably go with early war just to mix up the colouring on the Allied vehicles I've got going or planned to do soon. Break up all the OD!

Cheers,
Nick
