Do Tamiya not do British green? You could do dark green and lighten it to suit?

It's pretty close to olive drab I used but that is a little darker I think.

Note that the lighting conditions of those pix. It looks cloudy and the sun might be hidden behind a cloud. See muted colours as well on the people and other stuff. Olive green would look ok. The greener/olive-er version of olive drab might do as well (there's a brown-er version).

Paul, use Tamiya NATO green plus field grey or panzer grey.

Paul, Another magnificent build,
When it comes to the paint the one guarantee is, that no matter what the finish when delivered fresh from the factory, After two years in service it will have been repainted by it's crew/REME Workshop in preparation for it's annual inspection at least once,
So as long as it conforms with NATO/British Army specifications, Lighter or Darker it becomes your choice,
But like I said a lovely build, :thumbup:
Thanks for the updates.

I have been a happy customer of "Prime Miniatures" for some years and in the rare event that I cannot find what I need, I go to
www.modelfixings.co.uk
Highly recommended :thumbup:

This is looking great! I know how frustrating it can be when what you expected wasn't in the shipment, but I'm glad to see it hasn't held you back too far.

Cheers, Tom
