Colors of Jerry Cans, tarp's

not sure about tarps, mabye some sort of kaki. For jerry cans they should pretty much the same color as the vehicle,or its clime (i.e. Afrika Korps would be a dark yellow, if vehicle is in russia maybe a german gray. Ive also seen halftracks that have jerrycans withthesame camo job.

I agree with John on the jerry cans. For almost all of my canvas I use Model Master Field Drab #30118. I don't know if it's completely accurate, but it looks good with a little weathering. I use it for tarps, truck seat cushions etc. That's my two cents anyway.

Thanks much

Thanks Spamicus, i was wondering about those colors too

I did an e-bay search a while back (surprisingly good resource site) and found a couple of pics of extant jerry cans up for auction. Had much of the original paint still on it and some good detail pics.

Give it a shot.
