What are some Vallejo colours for Vietnam era USMC and US Army helmet covers. Thanks! |

To be honest I did not use a single "base" colour when I painted mine. I mixed colours up so that very few were exactly the same colours, with uniforms ranging from nearly brown through to green and helmet covers from dull through to quite right green, so to give a "lived in" look. David

I found taht Green Grey works best as the base, then use Reflective Green and US Tan Earth for the spots. Give it a veyr light drybrushing of the green grey again, and it looks properly faded. Works great on my 20mm. |
