"Barbed Wire"

Dear Modelers,

I've been submitting here list of fundamental colour shades, that they are needed for construction of most of combat vehicles models from principal belligerent nations in WWII. This list isn't by no means exhaustive and nor I can't affirm, that is absolutely error-free. Part of shades I've got from different sources (literature, internet), remnant I've had to find out basically guessingly, by comparing coloured photographs, drawings e.t.c. with relevant pattern books. On this account I'll be glad, if anybody complete it or correct pertinent mistakes. List is concerning to colours Humbrol and Agama, that are here in CR most often procurable.

I hope this list will help you.

Happy modelling
Gerry
