    Well!......

    Firstly I would like to thank people for your comments and input...

    After all my comparisons including now getting the SMS Deep Bronze Green PL-136 and considering all of the advice on here, then watching a YouTube build series of the Airfix Stalwart kit and reading various comments on that series, I have decided to not use a Bronze Green at all lol...

    I am going for NATO Green and Tamiya LP-58...

    From various sources it seems that although Airfix have specified Humbrol 75 - Bronze Green for all 3 schemes in the kit they are likely wrong for the 1980 & 1981 Versions which would have most probably been painted NATO Green and the 1969 version could be either the Bronze Green or NATO Green...
    I don't have the MRP NATO Green, but I do have the Tamiya LP-58 paint and the NATO Green sprays well... and if I want to add any sun fading I can always add a little LP-75 Buff to the mix to mellow it down..
    Cheers

      May I point out that the colours depicted on the box art of the Airfix Stalwart are actually a very good representation of the colours 'as was'! for a working vehicle. Several of my ex RCT , RAOC and Infantry mates agree. They are the colours I'll use as the starting point when I finally get round to attacking this beast!
