Hi there.

Currently building a Crusader Mk III at braille scale, based on S Models kit, with a lot of scratch work. I'd like to know wich color i must use to paint the transmission block of my tank.

You can see my work here :

Would it not be the same color as the interior of the turret/hull?

You mean white in 1942 ?

No I don't think so...
It could be either satin black... "nile water" / duck blue (don't know the right english name)... Or deep broze green....

Saumur Museum"s surviving AA Crusader has a white transmission block. But it's a museum tank, so i'm not sure the color is the right one...

Tnank for your answer anyway.
