Default Khaki No 3 Paint

Folks,

Greetings.

I realize there has been lots of discussion over whether Canadian WWII Jeeps were painted Khaki No 3 or otherwise.

In the mid-late 40's the Canadian Government painted equipment in their other non-military branches with Khaki No 3.

I would love to see a color picture of what khaki No 3 looks like.

Also would like to see the paint formula or have information where I can obtain this colour.

Sure appreciate any help in this regard.

My intersts lie in I am scratchbuilding a large model of the Public Works Department's - Tug Hercules, (a steam tug boat on the Great lakes) which was painted Khaki No 3 with surplus military paint throughout the 40's and 50's.

Thanks.

Rick

Hi Rick,

Welcome to this forum!

Re. your question, your best bet would be to contact Mike Starmer, and buy the publication which has a sample and mixing instructions for Khaki paint.

Hope this helps,
Hanno

Default Khaki Green No.3

Hi Rick and welcome. In model paint you can find this colour under Humbrol #30 acrylic or Tamiya #XF26/XF58 acrylic.
