                        101st Airborne uniform color?
                        Posted by 101stAirborne on Monday, September 12, 2011 6:22 PM

                        I recently bought some 101st Airborne figures and I was wondering what would be a good color to paint their uniforms. Suprisingly I have never built or painted 101st Airborne figures. I would prefer if it were model master acrylic, Tamiya, or vallejo paint. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                        Thanks,

                        101st

                        This is a great reference for colors. Doesn't have paint names, but if you have the paints I'm sure you could compare them to the pictures.

                        I like to use Testors MM SAC Bomber Tan for the M1942 uniforms worn by US Paratroopers prior to Operation Market Garden.

                        I think this should be enough information. Thanks for the input! I think I am going to try the SAC bomber tan. I have one last question though, Does any one know what the number for SAC bomber tan is?

                        Thanks,

                        101st
