Try this for starters.

There are a number of websites dedicated to Vietnam LRRPs, like this one and this one. A little digging should turn up what you're looking for, tigerstripes and all.

Remember...Google is your friend.

Hi,

the easiest way is google and use the pictures search. I have one book from Kevin Lyles-Vietnam: US Uniforms in Colour Photographs . The are very good Pictures of SOG Personal and a LRRP in tiger stripe uniforms. When i´m back at home from work i could
send them to you. Also the book U.S. Army Infantry , LRRPs and Rangers in Vietnam from Paul W. Miraldi has some good pictures in it. The best book for it is:Tiger Patterns - Vietnam War's Tigerstripe Uniforms from Schiffer. Here is one ebay link with an inside look.:

Greetings

Hi Stuart,
I have somewhere an article on how to paint tiger stripe.
PM me and I'll try to find it I think it's in a very old Verlinden magazine??

Cheers
Chris
