What's the best Vallego colour for this combat kit?

I'd use Grey-Green. Even modern stuff fades and varies by manufacturer so one colour is a compromise.

Knowing American uniforms, and their penchant for fading, frey-green.

Wanna fight my North Koreans?

Thanks Leon - what code is that Olive Grey?

It would be good to have a complete Korean painting guide to suppliment the rules if anyone knows their shades of olive

Found it - VAL 888

Mind you VAL889 is US Olive green??

That would be far too bright. Olive Drab would be fine for helmets and vehicles.

Thanks Nobby - much appreciated.

More a case of having to remember your new titles in the "upper house".

Thought the frog was a bit of a give away

Paint arrived promptly yesterday - many thanks Leon!

And yes, OLIVE GREY is the a very good shade for US uniforms.

My thanks to their Lordships.
