Scots Greys Sherman Colors
« on: December 16, 2012, 01:46:48 PM »
For those of you with more knowledge of WWII paint colors than I, any idea what colors this Sherman Mk I of the Scots Greys would have actually been?

Nice scheme.

Interesting that the Commonwealth forces were more liberal with nose art & colour schemes than their American counter parts seem to have done when it comes to tanks. Especially when you take aircraft nose art of the American airforce compared to the RAF.



I like this one just to get in to the Christmas spirit.

Then blow him apart. :devil

PS. Scribd is truly a goldmine for you skinners.
