Italian army vehicles in the Balkans

I think that Matt 121 Pale Stone is a pretty good match, at least close enough for me.

I only have a few books on armored trains, and I seem to have misplaced one. So I don't have much info on this.

I did find photo of another Italian armored train in the Balkans that show a web-like, 3 tone scheme.

Hi Ixion

Thank you a lot for your reply. Those photos are good, and even though they are in black and white the vehicles appear to be in monochrome rather than a camouflage. I agree with what you say, from photos I've seen of Italian vehicles in the Balkans there was no single design on camouflage, they used a variety of designs (or scribbles) as well as plenty in monochrome like above.

The nearest colour in Humbrol to the colour you illustrate above would possibly be Matt 121 Pale Stone. This is the colour recommended in an instruction sheet to paint one Italian vehicle model in the Balkans.

Not a highly photographed vehicle apparently...

This was all that Google returned, but the first one is in the Balkans, 1942, don't know about the second one. Looks like standard Italian overall Sand Yellow (FS20260 or RAL 1002), which looks something like this;

What this translates into Tamiya or Humbrol paint numbers I don't know. Find something that comes close and go with that. After weathering, it won't really matter.

The same for the Fiat, war-time photos of this car are scarce. Personally, I doubt they would have bothered with additional camouflage, but....never say never. I've seen plenty of other staff cars with elaborate paint schemes.

Good luck!
