Army Brown paint

Seen this colour on all the new vehicles that have passed through my place of work, shouldn't be too hard to replicate

Reminds me of the brown used by the DAK! Another hint how progressive German camo had been during WWII...

Jeez, at first it was red coats, then berets and leather vests during WWII and now its "Army Brown" color? Interesting... maybe I should use it on my upcoming building Chally 2.

I noticed the statement "The scientists who developed it insist 'Army Brown' is the colour of the future, and the paint is clever too. They are working on a formula which will turn it a different shade when chemicals have been detected to warn troops of the dangers around them."  If they studied history they would know that that type of paint was available on D day 1944, hope the haven't spent to much time reinventing the wheel.

Bones - nothing more than a pious hope, I'm afraid!

And guess who paid for this? Starts with "T" and ends on "ax-payer"...

Fellas it was even earlier than that- common on vehicles in 1940!

It has been said the if you don't learn history you are bound to repeat it.
