Hi all,
I’m after a paint match for the British Deep Bronze Green on their 1960’s Armour.
Acrylic or enamel paint.
Thanks in advance

Cheers,

Gibbo

Try Revell Enamel 65; but it'll need a gloss varnish.

This seems to do the trick for me.

Regards,

Brian

BNA Modelworld, down your neck of the blue,

Best match for me had been Xtracolour (Enamel X814, Acrylic XA1814).

Should be a source in Oz.

What he said

I have official paint chip for DBG and the "glossed" Revell paint is the closest match. All the other paints I tried, that claimed to be DBG, were way off.
