Im building the DML Firefly Vc and trying to paint the figures in the kit. The paint diagram seems a little misleading. What is the color of the jumpsuit? What is the color of the belts? This is my first DML kit and Im not liking it compared to the Tamiya kits.

Tamiya Dark Yellow XF-60 is said to be a reasonable match for the tankers "pixie" suit. British webbing can vary in shade, depending on how much or how little Blanco has been applied. You could go from Khaki Drab XF-51 to Buff XF-57 or any variation in between those two extremes.

there are few more from the same sequence if you search their photo base using the phrase
CHRISTMAS WITH THE BRITISH LIBERATION ARMY IN HOLLAND, NOVEMBER 1944

Hey I appreciate the information. It seems that DML has some highly detailed kits, but the directions are not real clear. This forum has helped me a lot since I got back into modeling armor. I wonder why there are more German armor kits out there instead of Allied armor?

Don't even go there
