I know the smaller caliber of shells had coloured bands painted on them but for 1:76/1:72 what would you recomend for an overall colour? The temptation would obviosly be some sort of metallic grey combined with brass but I have seen some dio's were shells have been painted a very dark green. Any ideas ?...

I just finished read Band of Brigiands by Christy Campbell ISBN 97800072214600 and I must say it is a very comprehensive book on the developement and deployment of the Mk I-V*.
