New Review: WWII British Armoured Vehicles Acrylic Paint Set

[IPMSUpdates]

Another in ICM’s range of paint sets, this time for use with any WWII British armoured vehicles.

The set contains the following 12ml paint pots from their range of generic colours; I have listed what I believe to be their intended uses:

• 1041 Buff – Light Stone/Portland Stone
• 1027 Gun Metal Metallic – tracks
• 1054 Chocolate – possibly SCC.2 Brown, but this paint is too dark
• 1059 Green Ochre – Middle Stone/Dark Stone
• 1069 Extra Dark Green – Deep Bronze Green
• 1071 Camouflage Green – SCC. 15 Olive Drab or Khaki Green No.3

The back of the box has a couple of drawings showing suggested uses for each color. The Camo pattern on the Churchill is like nothing I have seen before on a British tank, though it’s quite possible it was a special scheme in Italy.
