I need a question asked guys,
I know that the color for the interiors of the Bradley is a light green or sea foam green. I've been using and still have a couple of bottles left of an old Polly Scale color called light green. My question is, what other brand has a match and what is the number or name of the color.
Thanks.

I mix my own using white and pale green. Of course I can color match to the real stuff any time I want.

Rob, do you have a formula? 50/50, 10/90?

No, I eyeball it. The M113 tranny picture I posted in the gallery is painted in seafoam green and is an exact color match. Some times I use a Monopoly $20 as a color guide, just a tad lighter.

Pete,

Testors makes a good color in their Modelmaster line called Pale Green I belevie. I tried looking on their web site, but matching them that way is really inaccurate. If you look at the rack the color will stick out when you see it

Thanks guys. Ill past this info on to the person who asked me. So far we have pale green with white added.

Thanks again.

Pete---- stick to the white interior models (WWII, M-60). Avoid the latrine green ones of today. Just a thought.

I understand a pale green is used for the interior now, but why was white discontinued??

White is used in combat vehicles that are not designed to open up while in contact with the enemy such as tanks (M1/M60/etc.), self-propelled howitzers (M109 series), recovery vehicles (M88A1/M578). Vehicles that expose their interiors to offload troops use seafoam green like the Bradleys (M2/3), M113 family of vehicles (M106/M577/M981) and I assume the USMC specific vehicles such as the LAV and LVTP also use seafoam green. The only portion of a mortar track, M106A2 or M1064, that is seafoam green is the driver's compartment. The mortar area is forest green and there is a little canvas curtain that separates the drivers compartment from the combat compartment.

Is the seafoam green flat then??

Understandable that you wouldn't want to give the enemy a bullseye to aim at!!

No, it is a semi gloss, the transmission we got was a gloss.

I used the Modelmaster acrylic Pale Green for a Brad I am working on. Seems to be the right color, but a shade or two too dark. Hard to tell without a color chip or a 1:1 sample (like certain other people who post here...).

As I said in my original post, I drop a couple of drops of white into the pale green (Modelmaster enamels are my normal paints). If you don't have a color chip to match (or the real thing), use a $20 Monopoly money bill (from the Parker Brothers Game).
