I saw that Reedoak have release a very nice figure i would like to have with my VBL kit with all sets Blast models have released for that kit..
The figure i mean is this one, French Recon Unit soldier, would they use VBL as their vehicle?
And how are the camoflage on the dress? Is that look the same as regular french uniform? And the colour on the combat west, is that green?
The figure i mean is

Hi Roger,
To answer your question about VBL - yes, Reeodak posted test shots of 1/48 scale of this figure with 1/48 Gasoline VBL.


About the uniform, I am sure you can find more details photos but vest looks green.


Best regards
Engin

P.S : I updated news with new photos.

By the way, Recon unit does not mean special forces at all. They are just regular army and as such they are equipped with the regular combat uniform with the standard French pattern (either the European or the desert one as mentioned by Norbert).
