Ok, a new adventure for me, 20mm ACW using Newline and SHQ figures, so for the Union troops what Humbrol codes are correct. I figure that Humbrol 64 will suit for the southern grey along with other shades of grey and various browns, but any help will be gratefully accepted |

I use 104 for Union jackets and 109 for their trousers. I thought about using 89 for their trousers but having seen some examples in museums I think that is a bit light and better for those Confederates who actually had regulation uniform… See: link |

Thanks, 104 I have, not sure about 109, just had a quick google on that, a bit darker than I would have thought, as a kid I used 48 or thereabouts on my old airfix ACW stuff |
