Uniforms were jungle green (JG) by this stage, even for armoured crews. I suggest Vallejo 70.880 Khaki Grey with a highlight in 70.914 Green Ochre Sikh Turbans ‘Puggarees’ stayed Khaki Drill (KD) for much of the war. For the uniforms I highlight heavily with a grey green to end up with more grey shade (see below). I think the highlighting is what distinguishes them. As it happens this is also my base colour for the JG uniform colour. Mark Davies suggests Vallejo (095) 70.893 US Dark Green as a possible match for S.C.C. They also suggest Tamiya: 2 x XF51 + 1 x XF61 + 1 x XF3 and I suspect this is the Mike Starmer suggestion (Starmer is one of the foremost researchers of British AFV paint and camouflage schemes of WWII). That humbrol mix appears to come from the The Miniature Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association’s British AFV Camouflage, 1939-45. 13 was however, used for weapons and personal equipment such as helmets. The title ‘Jungle Green’ was not official and it was significantly different to the Jungle Green dye used in uniform manufacture, which was rather bluish and faded to a greyish tone. It was a very drab and muddy green and darker than US Olive Drab. This colour replaced Middle Bronze Green on British vehicles in the Far East from 1943. Standard Camouflage Colour (S.C.C.) 13 ‘Jungle Green’
From both British & Indian Armoured Units Of the Burma Campaign: A Painting Guide (V1.8) and Jemina Fawr (Part 5): There were variations on this but I see no reason to look for edge cases. The main colour in Burma was ‘jungle green’, which is a very dark drab/ muddy dark green (). I have used both for my own guide.Īll of the vehicles were painted in one colour in 1943-45. If you want something wider in scope then I can recommend two invaluable sources for Anglo-Indian tanks in Burma, both by Mark Davies British & Indian Armoured Units Of the Burma Campaign: A Painting Guide (V1.8) and his excellent series on the 14th Army on his Jemina Fawr website (lots of links below). My guide is customised for the vehicles I want. I have already chosen my Anglo-Indian tanks in Burma and now I need a painting Guide for them.
