Modern Finnish Army AFV Paint

Standard colours of Finnish AFVs since 1959

In 1959 the Finnish Army introduced "Kimmo Kenttävihreä" (Kimmo Field Green) as a primary camouflage colour for it's AFVs, replaced in 1976 by "Kenttävihreä" (Field Green).

In 1981 a new four-colour splinter pattern of Dark Green (AN11), Light Green (AN22), Brown (AN33, used only for BUK, XA-360 and some other vehicles) and Black (AN44) was introduced and implemented on all vehicles in service (incl. T-54/55, SU-57, BTR-50, PT-76, BTR-60, BTS-2, MTU-20 and all later purchased equipment).

In winter conditions a washable white paint is used to cover the AN22 and half of the AN11 areas.

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
