The colour combinations selected , vide para. 2 above , are to be those which approximate most nearly to the colours of the country in which it is expected that the vehicle will operate e.g. :-

For Australian Coastal Areas use sets No. 2, 3, 4, or 6 .

For Australia Central and Northern Areas use set No. 5 or 7

Set No. 1 will merge under almost any circumstances .

Below is a photo of a 1/35 Chev heavy Recon wagon I made painted with an early two pattern cammo of 1942 service green & earth. I do have the formulas for the colours which can be made using Humbrol model paints which could then be given as samples to your local paint shop to make up if required.
