Help US WWII and Korea tanks colors and tips
Posted by Models32466 on Wednesday, November 28, 2018 8:23 AM

Merry Christmas — so my wife and I buy our own gift.  I only have the M1A2 US Tank, M40 and M109 Howitzer so I added Four Tamiya Tank kits.

Sherman M4A3E8 European Theater  WWII

M3 -  Lee MK WWII

M3  -  Stuart - Late Production WWII

M1  -  Walker Bulldog- Korea

So do all four have the same paint scheme —Olive Drab or Olive Green?

Do I have the correct era?  Where can I find information other than Tank Encylopedia or Scalemates?

Any tips appreciate

Yes, you have the correct eras listed and all four would have the same OD Green paint.  The M3 Lee and M3 Stuart could be in desert colors as they were also used in N. Africa by the British.

For more info do a google search for each vehicle and you will find all sorts of info.

Yeap what Gino said...

Here's a good site I use. He hasn't updated it in forever though:

Steven Zaloga had a really good article on shades of olive drab but it seems to have been taken down.
