~Hello again Rob~
Actually Phil's recommendation is a really good one--I was 1st refered to that site by books by Steve Zagola *
~~you're right though, opinions seem to vary some and color photos from the time are scarce and rarely if ever color-correct. a couple a suggestions for for determining the right colors for the right branch of service include
---looking at militaria sites(sites that sell actual relics and issue items post nice color photos but only have what they happen to have--but you can get lucky
~~looking at historical sites that portray as best as possible, examples in photos or color plates. For example http://www.ww2incolor.com/ or many others Google will reveal--also sites for re-enactors are useful
~~Look at the work of many other modelers that really know what thier doing and care about accuracy, like Steve Zagola , whose work can be viewed in the galleries of Missing Lynx.
~~~But more than taking any one modelers word for it, or relying on any one old photo or faded uniform, I'd recommend you gather examples together that are supposed to represent what your trying to model, and decide for yourself what you think it should look like, and try to do it that way, keeping in mind that often color varriation existed in the same uniforms from dye lot to dye lot, issue to issue and changes in condition that are brought about by use.
