                        Hi there everybody!


                        I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction for WW2 U.S. Marine corps clothing colors, I used ref. pics and tried to make my own color, but that did not work. So if any of you could give suggestions that would be great and I would greatly appreciate it the colors could be in Vallejo acrylics!



                        Thanks a bunch, Jim

                        Okay, thank you very much! This is very helpful info, BTW all of these colors will work for late war (1944-1945) as well as early war (1942-1943)?




                        Thanks, Jim
