Hello everyone, I have seen some cool pics of the UK Berlin Brigade vehicles, with a cool urban cammo pattern. My question is – did the infantry have a similar kind of pattern at all, or did they wear a more standard BAOR-looking camo. I have a bunch of Mongrel Miniatures brits, and am wondering if they would fit in. Thanks, Greg |

Baor standard camo for the squaddies and the Mongrel troops are perfect! |

Standard UK DPM with a sort of drunken haze if you can achieve it! Tally Ho! |

Yes, standard DPM. It isn't too bad in urban environments if you stick to the shadows (or green bits!). |

Thanks guys. What about the scrim (is that what it's called?) stuck on the helmets? Would they have tried different colours for that? Greg |

I know the Chieftans were painted in Rubics cube but were the Brigades other vehicles as well? I have never seen a picture apart from Chieftans. Graham |

Greg, no point in scrim on helments in and urban area, Graham, all vehicles were painted in blocks, Mon Cherie was the best watering hole complete with bath! Tally Ho! |
