Hi all,
I've completed the build of the Panzershop PRAM self propelled mortar and would like to know what green (in the Tamiya range preferably) would be appropriate for the Czech army.





TIA
Olivier

Hi Olivier,
Have you tried asking Libor, the owner/manager of PanzerShop?

/ Robin

Hello Robin,
no, this is a good suggestion.
Thanks.

Olivier

Gunze H304 70% + H72 30% name: khaki 5450

Looks like it's available from some Czech online stores...and from a French one as well

H.P.

Thanks for the inputs. At least I know the official name of the paint

Is there any close match in the Tamiya range? What about some enlightened XF-67 NATO green?

I asked Tomas Bouchal, TBmodels,

and he answered this:

"Hi,
I think, that Libor Matejka from Panzershop must to know colors best.

This is my answer:

I saw PRAM in khaki color only in new condition ( semigloss ), not weathered ones. Rust is not allowable too.

My friend use XF-62 Olive drab + Khaki Drab in 3:1 ratio.
On PRAM I saw nice winter camouflage made by watersoluble paints made by white color or in spring colors too.

There is Czech colors manufacturer too, he offer authentic acrilate color too. It is C20P ( Czechoslovak - 20 - semigloss ). It is recommended to try it on piece of plastruct sheet for the first, I think, that it is not bad color.

The PRAM is in 99% of year days only in standard khaki color.
