British army and airfield vehicles from the mid-1950s to desert service, plus a washable white for improvised winter camouflage.
Responsibility details are not available.
The whole box follows one line of development: what the ground vehicles of the British Army and the Royal Air Force were painted with from the mid-1950s to the present day. Seven shades are ordinary, the eighth is of a special kind.
The oldest is Deep Bronze Green (BS381C:224), the color of army vehicles in Europe and in the Far East from 1955 to the early 1970s. The air arm had a tone of its own, RAF Blue-Grey (BS381C:633), and in Europe it replaced that very bronze green from 1958. The third historical shade, Golden Yellow, appeared into the 1960s on roofs or overall on vehicles working mainly at airfields.
The modern line opens with NATO IRR Green (BS381C:285), the base color of vehicles from the early 1970s, over which disruptive shapes are applied in NATO Black. Desert service is covered by two tones: Light Stone (BS381C:361), used in the Gulf operations as well, and US Army Desert Sand, whose shade matches the British BS381C:380 standard exactly.
The eighth bottle is different. Temporary White is a washable matte acrylic-based finish that was brushed over selected areas of armored vehicles in a hurry in winter conditions. It was never meant as a permanent coat and came off at the end of the season.
Combining permanent and temporary colors in a single box is unusual for sets of this kind and opens up a subject rarely seen on models.
