Mark V tank from the tank museum in Kubinka is sent for restoration.
The tank wears camouflage designed for Red Army tanks during the Russian Civil War.

Pretty cool.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing Cuprum - would it have been such a bright shade of green at the time?

[cuprum]

According to all sources known to me, this is a completely authentic coloring.

Great to see the hornet tank in the second picture.

Great stuff as always cuprum, and I even have that bilous shade of green on my painting table!

Thank you.

I've seen that camo pattern before but not the video.  Great to know it is probably authentic.  I seem to recall reading that early usage they were still in British camo, with added Soviet markings, but later repainted fully.  So at least in the Polish war they probably looked like this.
