 After the capture machine, Poles black paint was applied the name "Poznanczyk" and the date of capture of the armored car. In this form the car was involved in battles with the Red Army.

During the First World War, Russian armored vehicles had no camouflage or standard color. They are stained with any suitable types of paints: "dark greens", "yellow ocher", "grassy greens."
Appliances purchased in England, came to Russia in the standard of English painting.
During the Civil War, this trend has continued.
That's the best of my examples:

Many thanks for the info and photos. As someone starting to build forces in the RCW period I'm finding this forum the answer to lots of questions I have.
