Historical use of the Light Mud Provisional color

The shade “Light Mud” was one of the provisional, popular colors used by the British during the North African campaign in 1942-1943 (World War II). It was applied to armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers (e.g., Cruiser Mk IV, Matilda II, or Willys Jeep and CMP off-road vehicles). Correctly reproducing this shade on models enables the creation of highly realistic dioramas and historical collections.
