Hi, In the Afrika Korps & Avanti books the painting guides suggests Panzer Grey (Dunkelgrau) for chips and wear on the Panzers & Carri, Desert Rats & Armoured Fist don't have such a helpful guide, so does anyone have info on what would be a primer or undercoat colour to use for British Armour? Thanks |

I'd hazard a guess at British Army Deep Bronze Green, if only because that's the default base colour for British tanks. I'll do a bit more digging and see if I can back that up. My brain is also pinging me with 'Canadian Armoured Acorn' that had some Brit desert schemes and had some background info as well. |

If paint has chipped off, would it not just expose the steel beneath and then dark grey would soon give way to British Standard Rust? |

finally begins Vietnam.
