Try false loopholes

Response to MK 4 colours

Act-ually, of you want something other than lovely plain brown (and nice numbers and names) have a think about the various, occasionally extreme, examples of "false loopholes" that crop up on Mk IVs and a few Mk Vs.

At its most way out this proded one B Bn Mk IV at Passchendaele, at lesat, that looks like it has been painted in crazy paving.

On the subject of the lack of camo, its worth noting that in August 1918, 3rd Tank Brigade suggested that Whippets and Heavies might benefit from someform of painted camo. So sounds like they were both plain at that satage.
