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

+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. |
