I post these pictures purely as a colour guide and a rough indication through the lens of a camera in different lights. This particular bike came to me in hand painted black. but inside and underneath everything was clean, unmolested 1940 KG. The headlamp shell is original KG (not the rim). I'm not boasting when I say that the colour I mixed was spot on. I even have a swatch from Lex Schmidt in NL who has research KG3 for the fleet of Big 4's that he and friends own, and it's almost the same colour as mine.
We seem to associate military vehicles with Army Green, all my Dinky toys as a kid were green. But it seems to me that there was an awful lot of light to mid greeny brown, even more earth or service brown and ending up with Olive Green towards the end of things. Ron
