Hey guys…
I'm looking for Vallejo matches to French WWII tank cammo colors. Can anyone help???

Thanks!

My take on them for my 10mm stuff is

1- Yellow Ochre (913)
2- German luftwaffe camo green (823)
3- Flat brown (984)
4- Outline blotches with black

Ink wash brown
Dry brush dark sand (847)

Alternatively you can paint them olive grey (888)

I do use something like Germ Cam Bright Green (833), Olive Grey (888) and a mix of Yellow Green (881) and Dark Sand (847)

I use much the same as Monkey Hangar for one colour scheme but you can vary this by changing the brown to either Beige Brown or Saddle brown and the Yellow to Green Ochre or Tan yellow. Another 2-colour scheme uses Beige brown and Olive Green or Yellow Green.

I do mostly 3mm and 6mm in these schemes and they look OK.

Can you tell me where you found the platoon insignia decals in 15mm?

Thanks
