I have purchase some Peter Pig camel corps figures. Can anyone tell me what shade of grey is used for their tunics? I have seen everything from off-white to light blue.

As I recall, I used a light blue gray for the camel corp.

In the desert sun all colours get bleached quickly.

I used Dolphin Grey from Ceramcoat, as Col Dunford recommended a light blue grey.

Officers frocks were likely to be a finer smoky grey than the 'convict grey' frocks issued to the rank and file.

The actual paint I used was:

Model Master Navy Blue Gray 205545 T43181

I doubt if it is available.
