But this looks fine to me, especially in a scheme with fairly heavy application of disruptive camo - seems to accord well with some of the Normandy plates in my copy of Restayn, which definitely have an overall greenish tinge about them.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-22880035006205665102012-11-24T15:09:54.455-08:002012-11-24T15:09:54.455-08:00Cheers, Al.

Egypt?) used French and German stuff in 1948/9. Some was left over from the war in the middle east, but I think some tanks were bought from Europe. I wonder from whom/where exactly? Someone will know....AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-84630213628276004322012-11-24T15:05:23.192-08:002012-11-24T15:05:23.192-08:00Thanks, Dave.
