French armored vehicles of the First World War in six shades: coffee, artillery gray and blue, brown and two greens for multicolor camouflage.
Responsibility details are not available.
French armored vehicles of 1917 and 1918 looked unlike anything that came later. While other armies went for a uniform finish, French workshops painted large irregular patches of several colors at once onto the armor and often separated them with a dark line, so that the outline of the vehicle broke up in the landscape. The pattern differed from workshop to workshop, so two machines of the same type could look completely unalike. The six shades in the set cover exactly this palette.
They are a light coffee, two different greens, a brown, an artillery gray and a blue tone that is also found on armored vehicles and artillery equipment. The set is therefore enough for a light two-man tank with a rotating turret, for heavier assault vehicles and for towed guns and their transport. Anyone building figures of French crews will use the gray and the blue on their equipment as well.
These are water-thinnable acrylic paints in bottles of seventeen milliliters that can be applied with a brush as well as an airbrush. For large patches an airbrush at low pressure and a free hand without masking is best, because the original patterns were also sprayed freehand and a soft transition matches them. The dark dividing line is drawn in with a thin brush at the very end, when all the areas are dry. Once dry the surface stays flat and will take varnishing and further dirtying, which comes in useful on vehicles with so many color fields, because it evens out their differing sheen.
