I go with black for the uniform too. Never use white for the whites of the eyes in 1/35. Lighten up flesh color a bit and use that as the whites or just add the iris and when dry a wash of burnt umber will create the eye details. It may take several attemps to get it just right.

I'm thinking black,look at the Valejo line,they are acrylic and great for figures.They have sets of 6-8 different colors called The Panzer Aces which include a lot of the colors you need

What colors for Greman tank commander uniforms at Leningrad
Posted by Stuart06 on Saturday, March 31, 2012 11:31 AM

I am doing a German tiger tank that fought at Leningrad.  I want to have a commander in the tank and was wondering if anyone could suggest some colors for the tank commander's uniform.  I basicall would like to stick to Acrylics (i.e. tamiya) but have heard that it might be better to use enamals.

Also,  How do you paint the eyes.  Being so small I don't think I can get the whites of the eyeball, but looking at other peoples work there is a tone of darkness that suggest eyes.
