I recently purchased the STRV122 and STRV103C. Are the light green and the dark green of the splinter camo in both AFVS the same? Any suggestions for the light and dark green in Vallejo or Humbrol paints?

Yes, both vehicles use the same colors according to my original Swedish color chips.

Thanks for the reply! Any suggestion for the light and dark green in Vallejo or Humbrol range?

Dark green 326 M FS34092 22*Hu:150 + 7*Hu:33 + 3*Hu:34 (Hu:105) (or HU:149 ??)

Mid green 322M FS34138 Hu:117 (Hu:SW1/158) (or maybe 3*Hu:131 + 1*Hu:120 ??? )

and then it all depends on dirt and weathering as usual ...

Hello Aristeidis,

Great to see more interest for Swedish vehicles. :-)

Just one side-note, and you probably already know this, but just to make sure:

Strv.103c includes brown "splinters" in the cammo pattern, but on the Strv 122 (i.e. later splinter pattern) the brown has been deleted.

Of course i know that! The brown is the difference between the 2 variants!
