Shnake,
I know what a hassle it can be when it comes to painting modern camouflage. It sounds intimidating when you want to paint it, but it isn't too bad.
What I do is paint the entire figure with the dominant color
BDU: Dark green
ABU: Light tan/green
NWU: Dark Blue
And so on and so forth.
Next, with your fine paintbrush (not necessarily cut short), dab the general color(s) on the figure. With the ACU, for example, do small, random patches of light tan and sandy green. On the ABU, however, do the relatively same colors but in the tiger stripe pattern. An easier pattern would probably be the most recent ACU.
Coat your finished dudes in a dullcoat and then add the shadows in the folds of the blouse, pant legs, etc.
1/35 should be pretty simple...if it makes you feel any better, 1/48 is where the real "pain" in "painting" comes in.
Post some photos when you're done. Good luck!
Joe
