I'm thinking about grabbing one of these: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... VALLEY.htm

Does anybody have one they could photograph alongside an original Z Force vehicle, please? I'd like to see how close the green is.

I think you must have misread my original post. I want to know if it's a match for :zforce: green

:zforce: green has been an elusive bastard to customise for years, I was hoping this would work as an LBC.

Oh yes I've read that bit now! :oops: I am still trying to mix the right green!
This does'nt look too far off although the Army paint green primer that I used for my helicopter is pretty close if you wanted to go for one of the ebay ones. I think Jimbo discovered it.

Sorry Baron, I haven't got around to buying one yet, otherwise I'd have done as requested

Here you go Baron, i bought this a couple of months back from Argos for £25. I really like it, its my Z Force chinook. To me the green of the chinook matches the jeep very closely.
