As Paul stated, a two color scheme would have been used.

These would have been almost certainly camo painted as that was the standard for pretty much everything operational by 1939. If it was in the G3 paint at all, then it would have had the disruptive G4 added when it was repainted.

If you specifically wanted a non-camo painted vehicle, the only plausible back story might be that the vehicle was taken from a training school and had not been repainted before being rushed into service. In such a case it would still be in overall Deep Bronze Green.

But not for long. As we all know, RSMs are loathe to permit anything to remain out of "regs" for long, so if the vehicle has been at a unit for much more than a couple weeks without actual combat. some idle squaddie would have been given the task to repaint it to the regulation camo scheme.

Deep Bronze Green BS.24

Mix: 6 x Humbrol 3 + 3 x Humbrol 10 + 1 x Humbrol 2.

Tamiya: 8 x XF5 + 5 X XF63 satin over.

In use: 1934-39 then post-war from 1948.

Description: Very dark yellow green – a rich black green.

So far i have migs 113 khaki green on order, does Mig have a bronze green as well ?

I have not cross checked them myself, but, from what I've heard, none of MIG's British colours, to date, actually matches the real thing terribly well. Mr. Starmer has been singularly unimpressed and he's pretty much the gold standard on whether stuff matches or not.

So beware buying what a company calls a match. This is not to say it may not be close enough for you, but it may not actually match.

Experience has taught me that kit manufacturers tend to be less than reliable when it comes to the colour and marking information they provide, so I ignore it.

Ahh darn didn’t realize it wasn’t a match. Ill still give it a try maybe it’ll look good.

The directions call for vallejos olive drab if anything so i find that interesting

Always the best approach anyway.

Well, it just speaks to Bob's point that the model company recommendations are best ignored in most cases. Olive Drab would _never_ be the colour of a Vickers Medium Mk I.

I find that interesting, you’d think some companies would research the colors more carefully.
