17pndr Ammo colours

I need help and I know someone will tell me (you always do).

What colours for the British 17pndr ammo around about D-Day to the break out of Normandy…cheers…Kenny

You mean the ID stripes for the different types of ammo? I believe APC and APCBC were the most common. The APDS sabot rounds were the best tank-killers, but from what I understand there were only limited supplies.

If this is for 1/35…good luck painting those stripes! I’m building an Achilles right now, gave this a shot, then gave up and just went with black.

DoogsATX, thank you. Thats what I needed to know, altho’ like you I will keep the painting simple…cheers…kenny
