discussion WWII U.S.Army Colours

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me what are the best colours to use to depict US Army Uniform colours, I have a set of Dragon armoured 1/35 Infantry/101st Airborne figures that I want to build into a small Diorama with a few other bits to form Bastonge outskirts. However when I look at the destructions(instructions) that are supplied with the kits I am going to use, (Tamya suggest Dark Yellow for the bomber style jacket)the colours vary somewhat from kit to kit.

So can I throw this one out to the worldy wise and ask what colours would be best suited for the Trousers. M4 Jackets, Great coat and the bomber style jacket that these figures are wearing.

I was thinking of a Khaki Grey for the bomber jackets but will be guided by those who have had a crack at American WWII figures prior to me!

Many thanks

Andy

Thanks Andy, I've got some US WWII guys in my stash waiting for some colour. This'll help me a great deal.
