Actually it's quite easy once you know HOW….
The b***h is finding the colors that match…
I primed with grey Krylon..good old Wally World comes through again!
Did a base coat with Vallejo "Deck Tan" which is more gray than tan…
Then did a VERY VERY light first coat/wash with Folk Art#467 Italian Sage…
Then I went back and did a very very light drybrush "dab/speckle" with Vallejo US Dark Green.
Then I went back once again and did ANOTHER very light drybrush of the Italian sage, ALMOST completely (but not quite) eliminating the dark green, (just enough to be seen and break up the pattern). I then did a highlight (very light) drybrush with Vallejo Game Color "Stonewall Grey", but honestly, you don't even need to do that.
After that it's weapons (black), OD colors for the gear, Khaki for the boots, and flesh for the flesh…
A little brown for dirt, and weathering, and done!
I'm hoping that these few rough notes will help us 15mm modern guys get our troops out of BDU's and into ACU's…with a lot more painting ease.
My next project will be the USMC Woodland MARPAT…
