Which green for a Cromwell. Noob to armour!

[Doug Rogers]

I was rummaging around in my paint box and found a tin of Revell 65, which turns out to be Bronze Green. Done my Cromwell chassis in it and I'm happy with it.

Bronze green was an Interwar and early WW2 colour as a matt finish. As a gloss it reappeared post war.

In WW2 green was replaced by SCC.2 Service Brown due to a shortage of pigments before SCC.15 British olive Drab was introduced in April 1944. All Cromwell tanks in NWE should have been through a rebuild programme which included a new coat of paint. Shermaniac's mix is for SCC.15.

If anyone wants to use another green then that's fine by me. As I have imperfect colour vision (like most blokes) I have to be careful, you may be more fortunate.

Not bronze green? Humbrol 75?

As from your profile you like tanks....

Sleeper Service gives some basics, but as this seems to be causing confusion, despite Mike Starmer posting, please check this
