"Could Cromwells have Mickey Mouse camo?" Topic

I have some in boring Green. Want to spice them up a bit.

I can't remember seeing one.They are a bit more olive rather than green. I have seen a picture of one with a BSA motorcyle strapped to the turret, that is pretty "colourful".

Micky Mouse was pretty much soft skins, not tanks.

nets and foliage, scrim, all helps.

Try SCC2, it's the official vehicle colour for British tanks 1942-1944 or the British version of Olive Drab, used after 1944.

That or add some stowage elements, like tracks, crates and a bicycle, that usually helps making a tank look more "interesting"

or just use Tamiya XF 62

+1 for Patrick R. I've read about 1 which had an arm chair on the back. Currently reading a book by a Cromwell Troop leader, he talks about their bedding all being strapped to the side of the tank. He also says that he cannot remember a time when his head wasn't out of the turret except for mortar and artillery attacks. This reflects similar books I've read by other British tankers from the Normandy landings onwards.

There are photographs of 1st RTR Cromwells in Hamburg at the end of the war with what appears to be broad dark grey or black patches/stripes similar to British cold war tanks.
