Evalman Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What particular era are you looking at? I ask as you have posted this in the 'cold war' section but you mention 'modern' in your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_W Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Having read the time scales I meant modern as sometime between 1982 and 1987 which was when I finished my service career. Most of the vehicles I drove were a drab green.....but as i'm ready to start my new project I just wanted to confirm what colour paint I should be using/looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 IIRC The correct colour for RAF (and other british military vehicles) was NATO Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evalman Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 NATO Green with yellow stripes for this era. Crash trucks were also in these colours but started to revert to red from about 1985 onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
