TimDarrah Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 I'd like to start me El Alamein British Sherman soon. What's a good enamel to represent the Desert Pink that they used at that time? Thanks,
pyrman Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Tim, if you're looking for an out of the bottle color, try Polly Scale's "Isreal early tan" (505342). It has a nice pinkish hue to it. hth, Greg
TimDarrah Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 Greg, Thanks, I'll try to find it. Tim
RobMorales Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Tim, if you can't dig that up, White Ensign has Desert Pink in enamel.
hotel26 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 I'd like to start me El Alamein British Sherman soon. What's a good enamel to represent the Desert Pink that they used at that time? Thanks, The exact shade is open to debate so you could mix your own using a dessert sand/stone and a few drops of red. It was officially/un-officially Mountbatten pink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountbatten_pink

It just so happens that he posted a message on Desert Pink. Access this link for more info on the Pink: http://www.network54.com/Forum/527528/mess...+mix+correction
