Crimean War (1854-1856)-ALLIES
2005-11-4
These are the colors (Testors) which I've found most closely match the pictures (boxes, Osprey books, etc.).
For one shade colors, here are the Testors numbers;
- black (1149 or 1749)
- white (1168 or 1768)
- gold (1144 or 1744)
- silver (1146)
- steel (1180 or 1780)
- brass (1182 or 1782)
- flesh (flat-various available shades or mixtures).
ALL COLOR NUMBERS ARE TESTORS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
Testors is sold in Europe under the name "Model Master".
NOTE: colors based on "Military Uniforms In Colour", Preban Kannik, Blandford Press, London, 1968, Osprey Men-At-Arms series #27, #40, #196, and #241, and the box art.
