I couldn't resist painting one :D - well black undercoat, what colour where they? grey or artillery green and which valero colours?

From a quick google - its almost what ever you fancy, plain in green or grey would work.

Also two tone disruptive patterns

This I must see! Although, from a wargaming point of view it's a bit of a white elephant since, to get the scale range right, it has to be positioned at the other end of the street.  :'( :'( :'(

WW1 'special forces' op? Never heard of one...apart from Lawrence, of course...(and Zeebrugge?). Entry/extraction far too difficult and much easier to bomb/shell anyway...if target located.
Still, could be different! Sneaky infantry unit...or pinpoint push with Whippets...or cavalry!!!   ;)

Brilliant suggestion! Wing Commander Brock could be there with all manner of infernal devices stemming from the family's day job :)
