Уважаемые коллеги помогите разобраться!Британские танки второй мировой войны окрашивались в основном в цвет бронзе грин ,но почему Тамия дает для окраски модели танка Сентор цвет XF-52 Дарк еарт??????Кстати и Матильду тоже рекомендуют окрашивать в XF-52 Дарк еарт.Заранее большое спасибо!

На самом деле не известно, как были окрашены Кентавры, когда высаживались в Нормандии. Вполне возможно, что и в Олив драб - как вся остальная техника.
В цвет "темной земли" красили танки в первой половине войны, когда и были произведены Кентавры. Потом их отправили на базы хранения, а перед высадкой в Нормандии снова вернули в войска. И могли перекрасить. Ваш, Евгений Гречаный.
Спасибо Евгений за отклик!Логика есть ,но разве на ранние Кентавры ставились гаубицы? Если мне не изменяет память Кентавр это тот же Кромвель разница в двигателях(*Либерти ,Метеор).По поводу ранней окраски английских танков много чего перелопатил, но не увидел цвета темная земля.Какому цвету соответствует?Хаки?
"The British Public Records Office has in its index a publication entitled Camouflage Training 1944-53. These instructions were the ones which replaced those withdrawn in early 1944, and we know what the new camouflage colours and system were, both from photographic evidence and from people's experience in the army during the 1944-53 period.In these 1944 instructions, the basic overall colour was changed to khaki drab, which was very similar to the pre-1943 colour, but with more of a brown tone instead of a yellow one. The paint would either be SCC No.2 (Khaki Brown) or SCC No 15 (Khaki Green).So we have for D-Day some vehicles in this new khaki drab, others in dark earth, possibly a few remaining in the pre-1943 olive green, plus the U.S.A. and Canadian vehicles in olive drab. All these basic colours were subject to variations caused by application, dilution, exposure to wear and tear and the elements, as described in the previous section on the U.S. Army.New vehicles were sprayed with these overall colours at the factories, older vehicles being repainted in the current colour by the crews or Services as repainting became necessary.Early in 1944, the camouflage patterns were also changed to the system which has now become known as 'Mickey Mouse Ears'. This consisted of large areas of matt black, looking rather like cumulus cloud and formed by painting a number of inter-joined circles of varying diameters.Again, the black paint was applied to all top surfaces, with extensions down onto the vehicle sides, and along the bottom edges of the vehicle. Some vehicles also had individual areas on their sides, formed from three or four interlinked circles. In the 1944 pattern, the underside of the chassis was also painted black.This black paint was quick drying, and was applied freehand with a brush at an army depot, either by soldiers or by civilian employees. The older patterns will have been replaced by the crews as re-painting became necessary.Where dark earth remained the overall colour, or where the black paint was applied over khaki drab in only one coat, the black sometimes took on a dark brownish tinge.U.S. and Canadian vehicles were issued to British troops in olive drab, and in most cases this overall colour seems to have been retained until either the vehicle needed repainting or it went for repair or modification, when khaki drab was applied. Some amphibious and wading vehicles were painted in Admiralty light grey for the D-Day landings."
