Hello,

I was wondering which colour to use for American equipment in British use, in this case a Jeep. Just olive drab or British green?

Thanks,
Martin

Martin you can use either but earlier in the war the British did not have time to repaint them from US OD as the vehicles were needed straight away.

Later when the vehicles were rebuilt by the workshops they would have been repainted to British army colors.

Hope this helps
