14Platoon Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I’ve just ordered IRR NATO Green from Paintman as the above link. The swatch they sent appears to match perfectly. When my spray can gets here next week I’ll give an update. Thanks for the replies so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Les irritatingly I saw the military history printout today (which I’ve had for months), says the paint colour and code right at the top! 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
