Reply To: Honey Tanks for the Desert

Hi,

That’s one of the most argued questions in modelling ?

Start here with this paint set, it has the official colours,

https://ak-interactive.com/product/the-caunter-scheme-1940-41/

After that it gets more complicated, once suppliers switched to ones local to the area colours started to react to the harsh desert conditions, the contemporary colour photos I have from the time show the Silver Grey colour in the scheme changing to different blue colours from a very light, duck egg blue to a mid blue green. As the colour is reacting to conditions over time there is no right or wrong.

I use Vallejo Pale Blue Grey or Blue Grey for mine when I’m not using the Official colours.

Hope that helps

Regards Ken
