WW2 Soviet AFV - AS095
Standard camouflage colours of USAAF planes between 1939 and 1945
Since mid-1941 USAAF adopted onto majority of its aircraft a standard camouflage scheme of Olive Drab No. 41(with blotches of the plane) over air superiority on ETO, use of camouflage by USAAF was officially abandoned, however due to various reasons it was still being applied by some of the plane manufacturers till the end of war. In such case new colours were predominantly used – ANA 613 Olive Drab(lighter shade) over ANA 603 Sea Grey (more blueish tint).

Standard colours of Soviet military vehicles during WW2
In a common belief all Soviet AFVs of WW2 wore single-colour olive-green livery. In reality the Soviet Army experimented with camouflaging its vehicles since mid-1930s, which led to first instructions issued already in 1939 (introducing a complex system of four geographical theatres with own camouflage patterns / colours). However as only three colours were accessible by 1941 – 4BO Green, 6K Dark Brown and 7K Sand – usage of those in 45-55%, 15-30% and 15-30% proportion was finally approved by the end of 1941. Due to war time economy limitations, till 1943 majority of equipment continued to be finished in one of the greens (4BO, ZK or ZO). Only in 1944-45 use of three-colour camouflage became more common.
Contains the following colours (acrylic paints, water-based):
- HTK-A246 – Dark Moss Green (ZB AU) – Exact match with ZB AU Green, between 1937-39 an official base colour of Soviet military vehicles. Later a primer paint
- HTK-A251 – 4BO Protective Green – Since 1939 an official base colour of all Soviet military vehicles and other military equipment (used well into mid-1950s)
- HTK-A316 – ZO Protective Green – Alternative to 4BO paint, often used as a base colour on camouflaged Soviet AFVs and on various auxiliary equipment
- HTK-A317 – Dark Brown 6K – Used over green base (4BO, ZK or ZO) in two- or three-colour camouflage schemes of selected Soviet military vehicles
- HTK-A318 – Sand 7K – Used over green base (4BO, ZK or ZO) in two- or three-colour camouflage schemes of selected Soviet military vehicles
