British armor from 1939 to the end of the war: three base shades by period and three dark tones for camouflage blotches.
Responsibility details are not available.
British ground equipment changed its base shade three times during the war. At the beginning the khaki green introduced by the standard of 1939 held sway, from 1941 it was replaced by a khaki brown, and from April 1944 vehicles in Western Europe were painted olive drab. The base tones were accompanied by dark colors for camouflage blotches, with which the outline of a vehicle was broken into two parts.
If you want a vehicle from the campaign in France in 1940, you reach for the khaki green complemented by the darker green. A vehicle from 1941 to 1943 stands on khaki brown with blotches of dark brown or black, and one of the variants carried a nickname taken from a cartoon rodent. Equipment from the invasion and from the fighting in Western Europe is olive drab, and on it the blotches were usually not applied.
On the real vehicles the blotches had a soft but pronounced edge, because they were sprayed with a low-pressure spray gun right at the unit. On a model a free spray without masks is therefore enough. The base tone picked up dust quickly in the field, so once the finish is done a light layer of dust in the shade of the local soil suits it well.
