Hi,
Does anybody know what shades of green paint the British army used in the 70s and 80s to paint armoured vehicle?

2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY
Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.
So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.
We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.
Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Yes matt,. I'll bet Denny's top draw cavalry types washed their tanks with benz for a parade, when they would be shiney (and lethal to climb on).
The pusser's green - could be you're thinking of Deep Bronze Green, very distinctive, very shiney, very nasty. Used between about 1950-70. Made AFVs look like Dinky toys.
All the best.
