Hi . Can someone tell me the British Army paint colour and code used in OP TELIC ( Iraq conflict ). I've just bought a Land rover snatch an plan a repaint in the future.

Three links below you should be able to have the colours made up at a local paint shop as the colours have BS (British Standard) number.

Have a look at Bob Morrisons book - for actual period photographs..

They used whatever they could get their hands on , every shade from "Light Desert Sand / Stone" to Banana yellow - YES BANANA YELLOW !! , also plenty of photographs of pink/sand tigerstripe dp .. Op Granby

 

Op Telic would be better prepared for finishing - CARC finish Light Stone but probably others..

No Snatches were used in Op Granby!

 

You need BS381C shade 361 'Light Stone'
