Well, since clothes faded at different rates and started out with slightly different shades, you could get by with most any OD green and lighten it as you chose. If you can get hold of Model Master, they have a much bertter selection of colors, includiong a nice "faded oilve."

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I use olive fron the square bottle and add a little white I pant each articale a differant shade. Better realism.

Use the O.D. with a little blue for shadows, and a little yellow and white for highlights. Buff or a tan also makes a nice highlight.
