[Bob Carriere]

That is quite the project.....massive size and very few around have been restored.

On the color...... very difficult because every MLU reader will see it slightly different due to the individual color setting on there computer screens.

Your first pictures..... especially the one on the white snow background.... is the most complicated...... in photography white snow usually throws off the colors of surrounding items...... in digital photography we usually have to trick the camera automatic settings to get better moe accurate pictures.

The secret you have discovered is to find a part(s) that has not been exposed to sunlight, such as the shield you photographed and try to match that shade ......... it does not matter how it looks on our computer as long as you can find a mix that will give you the same shade of army green.

You seem to be making good progress cleaning up and painting parts for re-assembly.

Keep up the good work and keep showing us pictures as you move ahead with your restoration.
