I am about to start build the Roden 1/72 Vauxhall and the Reviresco Crossely tender and Thornycroft truck and need some painting info:
I am planning to paint the Vauxhall as in the instructions will Tamaiya XF-26 be a okay match for the deep green mentioned. Where the other parts of the car left gold or grey. As for the other two vehicles will XF-26 be a match for one of the greens the British used? Was khaki as used to paint British tanks also used to paint British soft-skinned vehicles?
From the book "At the War" by Lord Northcliff
mentions at the start of the war the BEF used tradesman vans and motor charbances in their civilian colors until painted in "dull military grey or khaki"
