Hi guys,
I'm a bit confused about the Vallejo colours used for US WW2 uniforms. I figured out what colours are used for the khaki/tan coloured uniforms, but I can not find a consistend answer with the greenish uniform colour. Some say VC-893 is near enough alright, others say VC-873 + VC-914..
So what Vallejo paint colour(s) do you guys use to paint the green US uniforms?
Appreciate the help guys...

Is there a particular item of clothing you're referring to Daniel?
I'm definitely no US Army expert, but IIRC most of the uniform was khaki and tan. Some of the herringbone tankers coveralls were green though I think.

Hi Rudi,
I'm working on some figures from the Normandy campaign. So they'll probably be wearing the M1943 uniform..now I only need are the best suited color combinations..
