discussion British infantry helmet colour WWII

[Alan 45]

I've got some tamiya 1/35 British infantry figures and the helmet is a different colour to the uniform which is khaki and seeing as it's all in Japanese there are no instructions telling me what colour XF 64 is so I'm a bit stumped

Can anyone of you good folks help

Tamiya XF64 is a red-brown.

The are nicely detailed I've just put my first wash on a couple and it looks like they are going to highlight very well

I'll checkout your dio it might just give me an inspiration oh by the way I won't copy it I promise

I did the figures in a GB a long while back. No good looking for colour ideas though I did them as a Bronze statue.

But yes their lids are Olive drab more the green than the brown one...
