Historical use of Khaki Green NUM.3 color

The shade Khaki Green NUM.3 was one of the primary camouflage colors used by the British Army (and its allies) during World War II. This color served as the standard base paint for armored vehicles, trucks, carriers, and military equipment used in Western Europe, North Africa, and during the Normandy landings. Khaki Green NUM.3 was introduced between 1939 and 1941 as the official color of the British Army, replacing the earlier grey and brown color schemes.

During the campaigns in France, the Battle of Britain, and operations in North Africa, vehicles such as Matilda, Churchill, and Crusader tanks, or Universal Carriers, were most often painted in this color to provide effective camouflage in varied terrain conditions. The shade is perfect for models in 1/35, 1/48, and 1/72 scales, as well as for all WWII-themed historical projects.
