oberest, that nashorn in "base colour" is not in a real base colour at all, it is at aberdeen, and all of their outdoor tanks are the same colour

I've been generally disappointed with the museum tank paint schemes. They tend to look rather slap-dash and I place little confidence in their authenticity. I'm surprised that they would not do more research. Disappointing!
