    Caunter Camo Tamiya Colors

    Uploaded by

    Lucas Javier Vidal
    This document provides color mixing recipes for modeling paints to recreate historical camouflage colors. It includes the proportions of paints needed to mix Portland Stone, Silver Grey, and Slate colors, which were used together in the "Caunter" camouflage scheme on vehicles in Egypt from 1940-1941. The Silver Grey recipe calls for 7 parts XF21, 1 part XF19, and 1 part XF4, but warns that too much XF4 can make it look too green. The Slate color is a simple mix of 1 part each of XF24 and XF4, though it may be slightly dark and white can be added to lighten it.

    CAUNTER CAMO TAMIYA COLORS

    BS 64 Portland Stone

    Mix: 6 pts XF2 + 1 pt XF3 + 1 pt XF57. It could stand a fraction more XF2 and perhaps a fraction less
    XF57 but if I tweaked it then the proportions of the other colours would be realy silly

    BS.28 Silver Grey

    There is going to be at least one happy bunny out there now. This is the official colour used as one of
    the disrupters with Slate in the 'Caunter' scheme. In use on all types of AFVs and other vehicles in Egypt
    from mid to late 1940 till cancelled in December 1941.

    Mix: 7pts XF21 + 1pt XF19 +1pt XF4. Be careful with XF4 as even a little too much will throw this colour
    far too green. Err on the light side. I got this yesterday and ran a couple of test shots today.

    BS.34 Slate

    At last the final colour for Caunter. After a lot of failed attempts it has turned out to be an easy mix. This
    colour was specified as the darkest colour to be used on vehicles painted with the Caunter scheme.
    Came into use in 1940 and apparently retained as one of the alternative colours to be used with the
    1942 patterns.

    Mix: 1prt XF24 + 1 prt XF4. This is a fraction dark compared to the standard but a touch of white or light
    grey will tone it down
