I am working on an AFV Club Churchill tank these days. The assembly manual is not really precise on the tank´s colour: green...
But, what kind of green? Any ideas?

What Markof Churchill? Also what theater of operations and timeframe? They wore several schemes over their service life.

@ Mike:
Wow! Thanks for this very elaborate read!
@ Carlos:
It´s a Churchill Mk V with 95mm howitzer, AFV Club #35155.
Manual mentiones three vehicles from 1944, each given as "Dark Green".

Ok. Well the link has all the good info on the colors. Long story short, you're most likely color choice could be S.C.C. 15 Olive Drab. Similar to the US color, but distinctly different. Xtracolor makes the proper shade, or there are mixing instructions out there for other brands such as Humbrol and Tamiya to make the color for your project.

Lol - just as long as you paint the top of the turret with a Union Jack and add two white lines on the front.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
