AltcarBoB Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I am building a 1/72 MPM Hudson and I have opened up the bomb bay doors and scratched an interior and now I want to fit some MkVIII Depth charges. What colour scheme were the depth charges, I have seen them described as dark green but the only colour photos I have seen show them as a sort of pea green colour. Knowing that colour photos speak with forked tongue any ideas on a colour. I was thinking of using BS Dark Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
