Default Paint and such

Hello Bob

I fear nailing down exact shades of paint is like trying to nail down smoke. http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/im...lies/smile.gif

Light Mud IS a very elusive colour and given the nature of the terrain and climate in Sicily, it is impossible to be dogmatic about it

Mike Starmer includes some very nice paint chips in his series of books on British vehicle paint. I recommend them highly.

I just spent the week at the NAC and studied the 'Canadian Vehicle Camouflage' file, which Clive had found for me.
Very interesting stuff which will, yes, end up in a book on Canadian Camouflage and Markings

Glad you enjoyed the article.
