I am looking to start painting the M47 M/E tank,so what color would be good?
Looking for either Lifecolor or Tamiya, more leaning towards Lifecolor. This would be in 1981, so I guess a sand color.

Thanks

They would be in a sandy yellow color overall.

Yes it does. It's one of those colors that change with the lighting, perhaps on purpose.
