Can anyone tell me whether the ColourCoats paint range include colours that match the early war british greens G4 and G5.

They clearly do G3 but can't see anything that is obviously G4 and G5.

I have asked the question of White Ensign Models but their response was rather unhelpful.

They said that they match the colours in Mike Starmer's books but that none of his books include G4 and G5.

I can't imagine that his books have missed out G4 and G5 in fact I'm pretty certain that "'British Army Colours & Disruptive Camouflage in the UK, France and NW Europe 1936-45" which White Ensign sell does have paint chips for them.

I suspect that White Ensign don't do them (though I can't imagine why if they do G3) and that their response that they match all of colours in Mike Starmer's books is stretching the truth.

But thought it worth checking with you guys.

BTW - I have seen mixing instructions for these two but would prefer ColourCoats if they exist.

Cheers,

Nigel
