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. Damon. |

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. |
