USMC colors...
Posted by model maniac 96 on Monday, November 30, 2009 1:28 AM
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

Take Vallejo Green Gray 886 add a small amount of Sunny Skin Tone 845 for base colors shadows German Field Gray 830 and highlights Pastel Olive Green 971. hope this helps.

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)?
