AK Interactive 3rd Gen British Desert Colors North Africa And Mediterranean 1940-43 # 11646

A 3rd Generation acrylic paint set featuring the six basic camouflage colours used for painting vehicles of British and Commonwealth forces deployed in North Africa and the Mediterranean from mid-1940 to the spring of 1943.

Silver Grey No.28, Slate No.34 and Light Stone No.61 or Portland Stone No.64 were used for the so-called Caunter Scheme employed from July 1940 until October 1941, when a single overall colour of Light Stone No.61 (sometimes replaced with Portland Stone No.64) was introduced.

In December 1941, the application of camouflage patterns in a chosen colour was allowed.

In October 1942, Desert Pink ZI was introduced as the new basic colour, with Dark Olive Green PFI to be used for patterning.

These would remain the official standard colours until April 1943.
