Model Sherman Tank Camouflage
as per the title really.. I have two tamiya 1/16th scale radio control models to build over the next couple of years, the "Tiger I" and
the "Sherman" and whilst I can find any number of variations of the tigers camo... the sherman seems to have been delivered in olive drab
or the british equivalent... I have even checked with a couple of volunteers at the tank museum (not a million miles from me in poole) who were
helpful but not very successful,, I have searched on the internet but again not very usefully...
I have been amazed in the past by the amount of info availiable on this forum so thought it worth a punt..  thanks in advance, Keithice

I don't remember ever seeing pictures or the real thing in anything other than one colour....doesn't mean they didn't. Most UK
tanks of the period where single colour I think.

Winter camo was a bit basic based on what this modeler chose (whether it's authentic I know not, but the crews weren't suicidal and would
probably have chucked some whitewash over it at a minimum)

As an aside anyone interested in tanks should go to:
Duxford (not just planes. though they are also very interesting as are the rebuild workshops)
http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.1223
and the Tank Museum in Saumur
