Hi,
I have some 88's for my German army and would like to paint the Luftwaffe crews. However, I have no idea what color of paint that I should use.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Joe

I would suggest luftwaffe blue-grey with red waffenfarbe.

It could also be Heeruniform (Fieldgrey) or Waffen-SS uniform (both with red waffenfarbe) depending on the units to which they belonged.

I usually pick a slightly lighter shade than IRL when painting 6mm, I think it gives a better look, using the IRL shade usually appears too dark to me.

Something like these…

Yes, blue grey. I just put a blob of dark blue in with some field grey and mixed them together.
