Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Andrew Foulkes]

I have been following your thread with great interest having hunted in the UK archives for more information about vehicle colours for the BEF in France in 1939-40. Certainly Khaki Green No 3 was the 1939 British vehicle paint, used for newly manufactured vehicles after about mid year, and used to over-paint the 'Service colour' Deep Bronze Green, BS No 24 on existing vehicles. It will be very interesting to see how Mike Starmer's KG3 colour mix compares with yours.

I look forward to seeing the additional Australian files which you said are being digitized and I would like to buy a copy of the book if you go ahead.
