75th Anniversary of Battle of Monte Cassino and Northern Italy (Army Build)
A Company of Churchills
With all of the Churchills primed and ready for painting, I have a decision to make. I already have a couple of North Irish Horse Churchills that I painted in an early Italian campaign camo pattern. This was primarily a carry over from the North Africa campaign of a desert yellow with black splotches. I like the pattern however it was only really used in 1943 and by the time 1944 had rolled around, the NIH had converted to the standard (and boring) Olive Green.
Here’s what I have already:
I can apply some poetic licence and continue with the same pattern to set my forces apart, or I could take the historical route and go Olive Green.
In the time being, I need some more NIH transfers. I’ve printed these myself onto clear transfer paper. Given that this is 15mm scale, I can get away with a fairly crude version put together in Powerpoint. Once it’s reduced in size, it should look fine. Once printed and varnished, this is what I have.
