This web site will help you get the colour right as the "experts" change their minds every few years on what the correct colours for the Caunter Scheme were

It' also the only color you see JR!!

Rick, if I could have had my van 4 BO I would have, unfortunately Ford only offer a few colours.
But I do have some GREEN garden wooden structures that are the correct colour !!!! The next thing is a T34 QUILT COVER !

You are Sick Dude 2!! :tongue-out3:

Bob, do not let Steve lead you astray, these are like snake charm medicines, not to be trusted, I would suggest a green, 4 BO for example. It's this years new Black.

4bo that sounds like a nice shade of green or deorderant i think ? Getting confused, i blame the swines who voted for the plain ugly valentine tank thingy, might stage a robbery lol

You saying Steve is dragging me down the path to sin!

Good god sir are there no depths to your madness.

Now i did ask the salesmen about dunkelgrau but the trickster sold me the Alfa in the wrong grey.

You could do the Valentine in desert colours, that is light stone ( a light sand colour) which sometimes had blue black disruptive camoflage. Caunter went out before Valentines arrived in the desert. Alternatives are Brown (scc2?) or green for Russian vehicles, perhaps we should have a poll for the colour scheme!:rolling:

Green, green, green the nightmare begins!!

Caunter went out before Valentines arrived in the desert.

I was led to believe that the Caunter Scheme was changed in October 1941 but the Valentines had been sent over with the Caunter Scheme on, in June/July 1941?? I'm no expert but I know the Caunter Scheme always generates a lot of discussion :smiling3: :thumb2:

Aghh sod it Bob! Just paint it 4BO mate:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::smiling6::smiling5:

[Steve Jones]

Awesome!!

 

[BattleshipBob]

What have i started, off to look at StuG lol

 

[Graeme C.]

Some were painted desert pink & green.......:thinking:
Steve, you may well be right, but I haven't seen a picture of one in Caunter, A9 & A10 cruisers were & they look similar, same suspension. Anyone got a picture of a Valentine in Caunter? Certainly be a nice change from the usual.

I thought it was only found on German tanks.......you know, "Pink Panzer":tongue-out::tongue-out2::tongue-out3:

 

[BattleshipBob]

Found a lovely F8, heart beat slowing down, blood pressure dropping, new from the Pharmacy StuG tabs, cures all known Allied paint schemes
