Today i got my 1/35 cromwell Mastiff kit from a friend in U.K, is there any colour out there that is very similair to the U.K desert color? In that case, from what brand?
And what are the interior colors? What are the most common weapon? 50 cal or the smaller 7,62 machine gun?
I will try to do my first build blog here with this kit, i first need to try to learn how to add photos here...

Thankful for any help with this kit...

hey buddy the closest colour would be Tamiya ts46 light sand but you may need to lighten it slightly as its a little darker.

as for weapons is down to units however the common weapon is the .50cal or the 40mm gmg (grenade machine gun).

Humbrol 237 was brought out specially for the Airfix Op Herrick range. Seems quite close to me

This set of paints looks very well and is usable as well in the brush as in the airbrush.
Has anybody already used those paints ?

I have that set and I love it.

The colors flow great with the airbrush and work easily with hand brush.

I have been slowly replacing certain colors in my toolkit with AK and MIG paints

I'm definitely going to get this paint set, it looks really close to the real colors used.

Happy modeling
