Caunter camouflage pattern?

[Harry Faversham]

Hopefully our tankie experts can help me out here a tad. What are the best Vallejo paint colours to make a good fist of this scheme please?

H'
They actually do a set of paints for this.Its not a bad starting point. But a little dark for my taste.

I wrote a post about this on my blog at http://mojobob.blogspot.com/2019/05/painting-caunter-with-vallejo-colours.html

Basically, I use these:

• VMA Portland Stone (71.288)
• Silver Grey: A 50/50 mix of VMC 844 Stone Grey and VMC 886 Grey Green
• Slate Grey: VMC 830 German Field Grey

Thanks Fitz, nice painting and good to have the paint numbers.

I did some tanks in caunter a few years ago, but now have some more to do (when i can steel myself to do it), so good to be able to pick some paints, rather than try to match my old work, where I got the Portland stone far too dark.

Thank you Gentlemen, exactly wot I needed to know.

You mean sky blue to match the RSM's eyes?

Good lord. Not another Cauntet post.

Why have you replied to a thread from 3 weeks ago, with this?

Why not?

Perhaps because your throw away remark was negative and added nothing to the thread?
Just a guess
