Vallejo colour for British FAB Blue Coats
Gents painting up a battery of AB British FA gunners. What colour blue do others suggest? Prussian blue doesnt seem right. Would the same colour that I use for French blue be appropriate? John

In the absence of "on topic" replies, I have to say that the new Humbrol Matt 104 (Oxford Blue) acrylic is a good match for British "royal" blue - ie facings, coats (RA, RHA, RHG), and trousers. Not sure if the British used indigo for the basis of their blues (like the French). Depending on which blue you do use for your French, I suppose it wouldn't be far off at a pinch, given the effect of sun bleaching on the uniforms.
