Which modelling colour (pref. Revell) comes close to the shade of Green the Russians painted their guns in in WW1? I've my 1/72 Putilov 02 ready for painting and believe the WW2 "4BO" shade is wrong for WW1. Thanks in advance, Pat

two WW1 subjects : french army cars up to 1918 16 pages , lot of pix including an autochrome , le 370 Filloux (8 pages) and an immediate post-war subject : White TBC armoured cars in "m?tropole"(6 pages) most interesting JCC
