if you are going light stone (like mine) the current UK BS paint also called light stone is incorrect for the period... the new light stone is more towards the 1940's Desert ZI Pink.... if you have a cromadex factory near you get RAL1002 10% matt. 222 fast air dry paint. it looks like Chicken Korma when you spray it on but darkens slightly... i found this to be one tint away from my actual swatch i had from Mike Starmers Book. and the paint was 50% cheaper than war paint suppliers on Milweb (Cromadex are one of the main suppliers to the UK armed services)

Light stone is a base coat, the disruptive could have been a number of patterns.... if it was me i would go caunter.. (i love that pattern) but i would recomend buying Starmers books on the subject.. Caunter alone had a number of variants from year to year and i think there are two or three books on the subject.
