AK Interactive Real Colors - Light Stone No.61 (BS381) (RC868)
If you're building British desert armour, this is the sand-pale base that started it all. Light Stone No.61 was the backbone colour of the Caunter Scheme on British vehicles across North Africa and the Middle East, and it kept resurfacing for decades — from the Western Desert of WWII right through to the Gulf wars. It even sat on the upper surfaces of Syrian MiGs. Get it down and you're most of the way to a convincing desert finish.
