Morning Peter
That looks super and had made me think I heed t redo the bandana on my Wehrmacht motor cyclist!
What base colour did you use?
It looks like a yellow/olive/khaki which is probably in the Vallejo model colour range somewhere.
It looks just right and great drapery too.
Definitely on top form at the moment Peter.
Have a good day with the paints and the head gear when you get to it
Regards
Steve H

Stuart - Thank you. It's a bit one step forwards, two backwards at times.
Richard - Danke Schoen Bruder.
Steve - I used Vallejo Medium Camo Olive mixed with Off White. DAK jackets were never the yellow of the box art, rather starting off as a dark grey/green olive and fading to a whitish colour. I've tried to depict one in mid fade. On to the cap and binoculars today - I'm going to leave the headphones and wiring until last as a separate job.
John - Yes, a whole range of options for DAK uniform colours and the opportunity to experiment a bit. The cap will be done in more yellowish tones.

Looking very good indeed. And thanks for the tip on the DAK colours. It will come in handy for my vignette.

Thanks Andrew. You have a fairly free hand with DAK colours, especially when depicting sun-bleached clothing.
I've now got the cap and binoculars done:

The cap was very fiddly to paint, and in fact took as long as the jacket. I used Vallejo Japanese Uniform as the base, which is in fact a deep yellow ochre and nothing like any Japanese uniforms I've seen.
The final stage is the painting and fitting of the headphones and the addition of the various bits of wiring.

This is turning into a great bust Peter. The colours are spot on and the whole looks superb.
