hello
I used this for my modern French ( not 10mm.. I didn't know..  :-[    )
Humbrol 102
Humbrol 113
and 26.

from an an old game :

For the US I  used Humbrol 121, 110, 118.  I'm not sure they are the exact colors, but they looked good on the table.

Thanks, Ronan, I always use acrylic but if I don't have a choice I will go for Humbrol

you're welcome Le Manchou

I'm sure you can find these colors in acrylics. ( for example here : http://modelisme.bernard.free.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=11 )
