British Green, or the correct term for that, which tends to be a more blue-green color, as shown nicely in the image. Good catch on the OD one in the middle. |

IIRC Bronze Green is the British term. |

Well the front mudguards are International Harvester make, so they are Lend Lease. Therefore M5 or M9s and the front one is an A1 as it has the 50 on the pedestal. What a great (and important) photo, as it seems original and not colourised and shows the contrast between OD and whatever that awful blue green colour is. If that is Bronze Green, as applied to UK armour, then it really needs to be shown. However awful. The front one even has an OD jerrican mounted! What a great find! |

Is the rear vehicle a Scout car, rather than a half track? It looks smaller than the others.. |

Thanks for the info on the color. I found that photo a few years ago (I think on Missing Lynx), it is not colorized. I have thousands of photos, some in color like this one that is from a series of color photos. It is the best of the series and also not colorized.

This last photo of the German "Vespsa" self=propelled 105mm Artillery piece prompts me to ask if this carriage was ever used to mount a 75mm anti-tank gun, as in the Marder series? Years ago I used a wonderful 7/76 scale plastik kit (Airfix?) with such a gun, and it looked great. Just a way to get a 1/76 "Marder" into action. GdeP |

The Marder 2 used the Panzer 2 chassis like the Wespe above. |

Going through my archives I found another vehicle painted in that bronze green color.

looks at how these pre-painted buildings are packaged.
