It has been widely accepted that the majority of British Sherman, Cromwell, Centaur and Churchill tanks fighting in Northern Europe between the D-Day and VE-Day were plain Olive Drab (either US No.9 or British SCC 15). There are however some pictures known of Centaurs in SCC2 overall, Cromwell Mk.VIs in SCC15/SCC14 camo or similarly bi-coloured Sherman VC Fireflies. Trying to make my small collection of British WW2 tanks more colourful I'd like to ask you, whether are there any pictures known of the SCC15/SCC14 painted Cromwell Mk.IV (not VI) from North European front? And - still more difficult to find - a Churchill Mk.IV sporting SCC2/SCC1A MTP46 pattern from the same period and area? Mike Starmer says that most tanks manufactured in first 4 months of 1944 retained the "brown" camouflage after the D-Day until repainted OD during the repairs. So the question is: were such vehicles painted this way or looking for them is like searching for Holy Grail? Cheers Michael
