Ah, No.2 DTB. . . . . . . . . . One too many beers Mr. Ball-Spinning you have to have the "D" & the "T" in the right place.

I will ask Ballard but he does guard the formulation with some care. I think its largely of little value except as a starting point though unless you use the specific UK paint that he does which is commercial gloss with a goodly glug of matting agent. The reference came from bits of the truck unexposed initially and some Canadian box internals I think.

As I recall it is just three base colours and it marks so easily too which gives that common spectacle of Ballard with the artists paint brush at a show doing touch-ups. You'll find the "travelling" pot of DTB in the right-hand top ammo locker if you need some.

Sure, let's see more of it instead of the common OD, I like it and it allows hours of fun extracting the pee from Ballard and his "effing old DTB truck" as we are wont to call it.

I'll see what I can do.
