The definitive Red Army green. Russian Green Protective 4BO was the most commonly used colour on Soviet vehicles and military equipment from 1940 into the 1950s — the shade on virtually every T-34, KV, IS and SU that fought its way from Stalingrad to Berlin. If you build Eastern Front armour, this is the one bottle you'll never be without.

At a glance

Best for

• Red Army vehicles and equipment, 1940 to the 1950s
• T-34, KV, IS and SU builds
• The base coat for Eastern Front armour

As an overall base it takes modulation, fading and heavy chipping brilliantly — the perfect canvas for a battered Soviet tank.

The one green every Soviet WWII build needs.
