    Hello, MM.
    I'll move your query out of the specifically C8 thread, so it's perhaps spotted by a wider audience.

    And more power to you for keeping one of these old dears rolling.

    Could you not wave your wand....?

    Seriously, the best reference I know is by Mike Starmer and is entitled British Army Colours and Disruptive Camouflage in the United Kingdom, France and N W Europe 1936 to 1945. He is a modeller primarily (so am I) but has conducted more detailed research into paint and camouflage schemes than anyone else I know. But be warned; much of his stuff tends to suggest that many of the commonly seen renditions of Mickey Mouse Ear are not really very accurate!

    Bit like modelling really; find a pic of the scheme you like and copy it!

    However, I will send you a PM (if I can) giving his e-mail address.
