Hi, I am going to use Woodbine Gurkhas as Police or Military Police for Malayan Emergency (I know they are not correct, but I don't care). would you paint them in khaki (sand) or in jungle green? |

they are 28mm and they wear shorts. I have seen pictures of malayan troops in shorts and they had khaki uniforms. |

In Malaya, a very pale washed out green. Matakishi did Malaya like this: link He used the Inkerman/Britannia models which are now with Grubby Tanks. Eureka do some very nice post-war Brits for Aden with SLRs which, at a pinch, you could use for very late Malaya or, as I plan to, the Indonesian Confrontation. |
