Four shades used by the British Army and Commonwealth units in North-West Europe between 1941 and 1944 – Khaki Green No.3 as the earlier base and two S.C.C. browns that replaced it.

FAQ
When was Khaki Green used and when the S.C.C. shades?
Khaki Green No.3 was the earlier standard; from 1942 the S.C.C. shades progressively replaced it. On a 1944 vehicle S.C.C. No.2 Brown is the likelier correct choice.
Do the shades suit 1:72?
Yes, but lighten them at small scale – add a little white or ochre. It is the scale effect: the same colour reads darker on a small model.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
