Is Vallejo's surface primer u.k. bronze green number 73.607 a good match of the actual color used by the brits during the early part of the cold war? Appears to be a tad to dark.Perhaps,some dark yellow added to the mix.Any comments greatly appreciated. Thanks

I use it, and with some post shading by lightening it with grey, I find personally, it looks good.

I'll give that a shot on my 1/35 dragon's saladin. thx

I still use enamels and the best match I've found (and at one time I had a 5 litre tin of the real stuff before my wife threw it out) is Revell Enamel 65 "Bronze Green"; this is a matt paint so you'll need a gloss varnish but it really is superb, in my opinion.

Deep Bronze Green was in use from 1955 up to around 1971 when the matt colour scheme of green and black came in. That said, there is plenty of evidence that matt finishes were in use over this period.

'Hope this helps.
