anyone able to help, i got Mike starmers books but they are in black and white, there are colour swatches at the back but i cant get a feel for how it will look ? i dont want my carrier to be green, but it must be releavant to my grandads war... he was western destert / persia from 41 - late 42, he raided Scicily during Op Husky then eventually landed at salerno Italy sept 43.
most of the italy schemes are light mud with blue/black disruptive (ala Jordans and in that pattern i might add) late issue vehicles were all brown as a basic colour with a few variants having dark brown disruptive (Ala Big Mikes) i cant use caunter as it was early desert scheme and discontinued end of 41 it was replaced with the ZI desert pink base and dark green disruptive...... i saw a Lee with sand base and brown disruptive with white and black thin borders around the brown disruptive....... love that style but cant use it as it was only used by one regiment and specifically on the "Lee".... i was thinking sand with brown disruptive (minus the lines) anyone able to throw their oar in here i really dont want a green carrier... you may ask "why worry now" but i am closer to this point than you might realise.... cheers in advance guys. PS i have scheme books for western desert after alamein, and scicily / Italy books from May43 onwards if folk need pattern queries answered. Richie
