They'd be the same as with the Whermacht. I use Humbrol 187, 94 or 94 with a touch of green for the base color, depending on what variation I'd like to model. Then I do the green splotches with US Marine Corps Green 161, and follow that with the brown splotches in German Camouflage Brown 160. Then it's back to USMC Green 161 for the splinters. I got this particular formula from Verlinden. The color variation on the base color was my idea though, as I discovered that there were versions with a tan as well as pea green base, and the exact color would differ depending on manufacturer and age. The smocks also came in Field Gray and Tan, so that's always an option if you don't want to do camo (but why wouldn't you want to do camo????. Wink [;)])
