I'm working on a Lend-Lease Matilda used by the Soviets. It is my understanding that these vehicles would have seen service in the British paint scheme they were given before they left Great Britain. However, I have found that the British used multiple different paints during the war, depending on the war.
The Matilda I will be building would have been manufactured during 1942. Which color would this have been painted in?
