Title: Charron Armoured Car Camo?
Post by: smirnoff on May 20, 2012, 07:29:37 PM

I have an old HLBS Charron AC to do.
Does anyone know what camo or base colour this would be in French/Russian/etc service please?

All online photos show it being monochrome green. Maybe a lighter green than usual.

By the way, the armored car in Russia is not used in WW I and the RCW. They were used only in France.

Thanks cuprum
To be honest as I have a Rastafarian Unit in these games I'm not aiming for historical accuracy :)
Just painting up old kit
