A-H and Czechoslovak artillery colours
Permalink   


A quick question please - what colours did the A-H army use for its artillery during the Great War? And the Czechoslovak Army between the wars? (And if the answer is 'khaki', do you mean browny green or greeny brown or brown?)

I'm making the new 1/35 IBG Skoda guns. The postwar Italian mountain gun variant is obvious, but the above two options have me stumped.

Hello,

The old Landships website listed two colors for A-H artillery.  I remember they were Humbrol Natural Wood and Humbrol Khaki Drab.  I made the Hecker & Goros 1/32nd Skoda 30.5 Morser kit several years ago and used Humbrol Khaki Drab as the base coat.  It matched the color chip sample provided in the instructions exactly.

Hope this helps.

Rob

Many thanks - khaki drab is not too much of a surprise but a pale sand is! Both will add to the variety in the display cabinet, especially with the Takom Skoda Moerser kit coming.

Anyone else care to comment on Czechoslovak colours?

from my notes from a old posting on this site I have Austrian equipment painted Humbrol 62 (most) with some 105 or 159

Many thanks. Just to resolve my mind, please, do you mean overall one colour, which was usually 62, or three colours on one piece of equipment?
