Fantastic. It's great to see these lesser known light/medium tanks getting the state of the art kit treatment.

No thankfully, but I believe a few mark IIs were dug in as static pillboxes in Egypt at the time of the Italian invasion.

I thought a few of the later marks were actually part of the 1st Armoured Div (?) in Egypt at the beginning of the war? Very quickly out of service and dug in, but I think they actually made one swan across the desert but didn't actually see any combat.

I think they sent some mark IIs to Egypt in November 1939, but they were only used for training purposes.

Humbrol make Acrylics now, which are almost a 1:1 eqv. to the famed enamel range, inc. AB0075 Bronze Green.
But since I have the ultra large, last a moggle lifetime bottle of VJ Bronze Green Primer, I'll use that as a base.
