Modern British Vehicle Camouflage

[tomcat51]

Do all British military vehicles get painted in desert camo currently? If not, what other colours/patterns do we use? Can't find anything clear online.

Plain desert sand for desert/arid and the standard temperate green with black bands for everywhere else. Hasn't changed much in 50 years.

Don't forget 'White' (for snowy areas)

Nice and simple then, cheers.

There has been a recent change though if you want to do Ultra-Modern, but its arguably even more simple.

Seeing as camo on vehicles isn't seen as quite as important anymore. For Temperate climates its usually now a very Dark Green colour (no black splodges much any more) whereas for hotter climates, and even used in temperate, its a weird bage colour, like desert sand, but much darker.

Just do a google search for current british army vehicles like the Jackal or Challenger 2 and you should get plenty of examples

FWIW, Airfix has the weird beige colour for recent Afghan vehicles as Humbrol Desert Tan 237.

Basically, though the Jackal would be a tad darker, but I doubt that matters much. Some stuff hasn't been changed to the enw desert cam, so with WMIKs and Jackals you'd be okay to do it in that colour. The Green one is spot on and you can do pretty much everything in that colour now. Some stuff has remained in the old camo, but I think thats because they haven't found time to paint it yet.
