Mike Cecil has failed to add that he sorted out the main Aussie WW2 colours using Humbrol model paints.

For POST 1942 Aust service green use -
10 parts #150 – matt Forest Green
02 parts #100 – matt red brown
01 part #33 – matt black

Buy these small tins from a hobby shop and mix to the above formula then take your sample to a paint shop and they should be able to match it. I have the formula, also done by Mike Cecil for Light Stone, Earth and PRE 1942 colours as well if interested.

Again thanks to the dedication of Mike Cecil we can reproduce these original colours for our models as well as the real deal!

not forgetting that these models are also weathered!
