First, my apologies, men! I have asked more questions on this website the past two weeks than the entire time I have been a member and thats 13 years! Deciding on colors for US jungle utilities for Vietnam. I have surfed the posts, scanned color charts til I was cross eyed, and looked at every figure I could find. Does anyone know of craft paint equivalents, either Americana, Ceramcoat, or Michaels Craft Smart that equal: Vallejo Green Grey item 886 Vallejo Reflective Green, item 890. My local Hobby Lobby doesn't carry either and my only other local sources are Michaels or JoAnn. Again, sorry to be a nuisance and thanks for any help. Sam |

There are a couple different shades that work well for Jungle greens, Folk Art "Basil Green", Anita's "Khaki Green", and a "Sage Green" of which I don't recall the brand. Also Folkart "Pebblebrook" is great for kit. |

I use the craft acrylic Anita 'Jungle Green' and Inscribe 'olive drab'……..the Anita 'coffee creme' or 'camel' is a passable beige brown. |

Thanks for all the help fellows! I hate to pick out a color and get home only to find out that it doesnt match what the paint looks like in the bottle or match the mfgs color chart! Thanks particularly to Lusito and Nick! Good gaming, everyone! Sam |
