Modern British Armor question

Post by Steelwhip »

Doing some commision work for a friend and he dumped some modern British armor off on me and Im a bit stumped. Having never done any Brits before Im at a loss what would be the base color for the vehilces.

I have a huge range or vallejo colors and wonder if anyone knows what would be the best Vallejo to use

thanks in advance!

British Army Deep Bronze Green, Humbrol 75.

Don't know what the equivalent is in Vallejo.

Camo is Black patches. No standard patterns.

Here's your best resource for camo scheme:

p.62

"British tanks with BAOR are finished in 'Light Olive Green' and black camoflage, though some have 'Dark Olive'.

Hope this helps!

Sure wish GHQ made the 105mm SP Abbotts that were prevalent in the Cold War ;)

Why, in my day, we didn't have counters. We had to paint the unit values onto little rocks. maps?! Hah! We had no paper maps! We put our rocks in the dirt. It sucked when it rained, but we soldiered on!!! Don't get me started on dice...
