"Come out you Black and Tans." Topic

I have begun my Irish rebellion project with a gang of Black and Tans. Any suggestions from anyone who has already completed their project.

Paint and colors used (please don't say black and tan).

Is the tan a khaki color or more brown?

I used English Uniform brown from Vallejo for the "tan" part, as the deficit in uniforms was supposedly made up by leftover Army bits.

For the "black" part, Rifle Green is the theory, but in the interest of being honest, I use a very dark green craft paint with a dot of black mixed in. I want to say it was Folk Art,, but it's an elder bottle of paint.

Yes. English uniform brown, and Rifle Green.
They originally mixed uniforms because the Royal Irish Constabulary had full Rifle Green.
The Black and Tans were recruited from British officer veterans of the Great War.
So early mixed. Later, the "uniform" became more uniform.

The even more despicable Auxies had blue uniforms and a Highland Tam.

For trucks, look for Matchbox Crossley Tenders on eBay.

For IRA, Google. Basically figures in Dusters and civilian hats.
For Irish army, use Great War British, painted a greenish.
