Hello
I'm trying to build my first figures. I'm using Tamiya (35192) US Army Assault Infantry and Dragon (6378) US Army Tank Riders kits. But I'm confussed about green colour. Because Tamiya offers XF51 Khaki Drab and Dragon offers Model Master 1764 European Green for jackets. XF51 is too dark and 1764 is too green. Could you give me an advise espicially Vallejo ? Also you can give information about what Vallejo colours for WWII US Soldiers' all clothes and equipments on Europe. Forgive me about my English.
Thank you.

Hello,

For folks looking for generic uniform mixes, I often refer to this site: http://www.hat.com/ColorsWWII.html

The colours are presented in Testors colours, but I'm sure you can convert them using this chart from the Vallejo Model Colour website: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/asp-inc/_modelis_info.asp?p1=ing&p2=modelcolor&p3=1#modelcolorinfo

Also see here for uniform colours: http://www.usarmymodels.com/guidetopainting.html

Hope that helps

Rudi

p.s. nothing wrong with your English
