Not showing off, but this is a real question. Anyone have color photos from a museum or color plates from an Osprey book about the Mark8 International?

I'm doing a model and I want to know if this paint job is accurate for now?

The only picture Ive seen are B&W or it's the American version that is painted a dark brown color.

Check in over at the Landships forum, and they will probably have the information you need:

And I have a couple of pictures of a US Mk.VIII up at

As far as I know there is one in a museum in the UK, and two in the US.

This is a Brit Mk.VIII at the Bovington Tank Museum, and it appears to be khaki, rather than green:

Thank you, that was definately a big help. I had looked on landships before but not in any forum.
