I think its great that this little book is available again.
I think Its a reasonable starting point, especially when there is a dearth of information that's readily accessible, not everyone has access to IWM or Bovington archives.
Sometimes you just have to look at available information and have a stab at painting your truck, just don't get all evangelical about it! I think Mike Starmer admits his KG.3 is based on only a couple of extant samples, so is sketchy at best. But I think the Standard Camouflage colours are very well recorded. and sure It may vary from batch to batch back in the day, but so will the paint you buy. I guess you can just hope you hit a happy medium and natural variation will do the rest.
To worry too much is a path to madness.
Mike Kelly: We've clashed on colour before, I do not intend to antagonise, I approach this as a relative Newbie who wants to see paint on his vehicle with a degree of research, and accepts that there is a degree of doubt about colour, there will always be doubt, we don't have time machines.
Cheers
Chris
