US airborne colours
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 15, 2006 1:09 PM
I recently got some airfix 1/72 US airborne in WW2 figues. I would like to create a battle of the bulge diorama, could anyone tell me what colours would be suitable for this period and division?

WelcomeSign - Welcome [#welcome], James.  Khaki is a good base color for WW2 Airborne stuff. Here's a good reference.

the khaki uniforms were replaced before Operation Market Garden, So If you wanted to do a bulge diorama, they would be wearing the M-1943 coat and pants
