I am painting up a batch of Battlefronts Vickers MG teams for 21 Army Group. A cursory google search came up with a lot of variation in colors. Any ideas from those more knowledgeable regarding which parts of the weapon and mount were painted green and which parts were left gunmetal/black? Was there any brass?

I've been to the battlefronts website but I'm a little skeptical about the everything green except the canvas over the waterjacket.

Thank for any help

Mad Mike,

Thanks for the link. I'll be painting a Vickers team shortly and was wondering how to do the gun. The pictures at the Vickers web site, especially that "cover" one give me a lot of ideas.

Yes. That site was just what I needed.

Thank You
