This is the book in question
One of several he has researched and prints at home, very old school but then so am I. If you want your own copy I definitely recommend it, the details are here.
It’s full of the MoD’s patterns, every piece of equipment had it’s own scheme, so light tanks had a different application than cruiser tanks, or soft skins. All of the MoD’s patterns are reproduced like this wagon one.
he explains its inception, trails and subsequent use in the desert. There’s a good deal of research in there including the official colours and unofficial and pattern variations. If you are not mad keen on spending £15 for maybe a one off model I will include the best part, the paint recipe for the caunter style with notes for vehicle restorers as well as modellers. The crowning glory being 6 paint chips glued into the book so there can be no colour shift through printing.
