"Help, colours for Allied anti-tank guns" Topic

Hi all: Paint some 1/100 scale AT guns. Any color recommendations in Vallejo or Testors Model Master for:

-British, North Africa
-British, Europe
-American, Europe

Thanks!

For the British in Europe 44-45 would be SSC 15 Olive Drab. In Vallejo a 50/50 mix of #888 Olive Grey and #924 Russian Uniform works for me.

For the US good old Olive Drab. The go to in Vallejo for that is #887 Brown Violet.

Sure others have some suggestions.

The Vallejo Model Color has been renamed. It is still the same number 70.887 but it is now called US Olive Drab. I guess Brown Violet was confusing.

For the British version of OD I use GAME Color from Vallejo – 72.067 Cayman Green

Regardless, British SCC 15 should be very similar to US Olive Drab. It was adopted for uniformity given the large volume of lend-lease equipment delivered from the us, or equipment manufactured in the US for UK use.

Personally I don't bother too much with the differences, especially for wargaming models.

British desert -Portland stone

Olive drab of all shades splattered with mud and the bare steel showing on the bumps. C'est la guerre!

Some British AT guns used in NWE were still in mid war SCC2 brown, this is specifically mentioned in a number of accounts. A decent match is Vallejo English Uniform, although Tbh I do most of British guns in green these days.

thanks all!
