As I near the end of my WWII 1940 French project, I find that I'm down to the motorcycles. What color were they? Thanks!

From what I have seen, your bog standard Olive Green similar to the green you would use for the rest of you French armor.

Now if we can get someone to make some of these in 28mm to go with my Battle Honours motorcycle recce troops. I need to do the French in at least two scales!

Thanks! I was going to go with a military greenish tinge, and those pictures are excellent references.

"Now if we can get someone to make some of these in 28mm to go with my Battle Honours motorcycle recce troops." Loudly seconded! I think Force of Arms had one listed as "upcoming" in one catalog, but not their latest.
