Hi All,

Can anyone give me a match to the modern three colour camo used on vehicles? I would rather acrylics and mixes would be fine.

Tanx in advance.

G'day Shane,
Sorry but the only colours I use are from Model Master.
But if you can find a paint conversion chart (i think that is the phrase) here are the FS numbers.

The Green :- FS 34097
(Humbrol #179 french Artilery Green was the best but is no longer made.)

The Tan/Sand:- FS 30219


The Flat Black :- FS 37038
Well its just Flat Black.

Hope this helps.
Cheers Jason
PS I'm still working on finding the colour for the uniforms.

G'day Jason. Thanks for that. Much appreciated. At least with the FS numbers I can try for a good (close) match.

Owe you one (more).
