Can anyone suggest a specific paint brand and color they would use for the green USMC uniforms pictured below? Thanks for any tips.

For my WW2 US marines I use Vallejo Panzer Aces Italian Tank Crew 70331 as the base for the uniform – followed by a dark wash. |

When I painted 15mm Marines I used Airfix SAC Bomber green as my base coat. |

I use Vallejo green grey – color is a dead ringer for my dad's herringbones from WWII. |

Thanks Fellas. Going to give the Vallejo colors a try. |

Sundance – I use the Vallejo green grey for the webbing. |

Fyi, I went just a little different than Sundance. I ordered the following 3 hoping 1 would hit the mark: -Italian Tanker Highlights
-Green SKY
-Light Green Blue (All Vallejo). I'll report back on any final choice I make. Thanks again. |

Vallejo Pastel Green for base. Military Green and Mahogany Brown for camo pattern. Red Leather for boots. All Vallejo. Steve |

Agree with Sundance: Vallejo Green Grey. But I'm a little lazy, I use it for uniform AND webbing topped off with Polyshades Dip. I do 15mm and it minimizes painting and it looks great. |
