                        I appreciate the information. To be honest I did not research the jacket colors but tried to mimic the painting suggestions on the box.

                        The helmet is a shade greener than the sources I found on the internet.

                        I can't say for sure there were NO green tanker jackets in World War II but the norm was light khaki like this:

                        The helmet also looks too green

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        Another bust I am working on for a group build on another site.

                        First photo is primed and base coats applied

                        Second Photo is Coat pretty much completed minus a couple of details and the face painted.

                        All constructive comments are welcome.
