HI all
I would like to find out more about the uniform color of the German Fallschirmjager during the earlier part of WWII.
Are their uniform color close to what their Luftwaffe counterpart worn?
Any particular brand of paint bearing a closer match on Fallschirmjager uniform? Recommendation pls....

HI jjumbo
Thanks, the websites are a great help....at least now i could visualise the color on their uniform now....
BTW the paint brands that I plan to use are either Tamiya or Gunze Sangyo Aqueous as they are more common in hobbyshop....
Kindly advise the color codes that will match closely for Fallschirmjager uniform worn during early part of WW ll....

Hey ReX,
I haven't painted any Luftwaffe figures in some time and I usually use Humbrol and Model Master enamels.
Would suggest you look at the grey/blues available to you from Tamiya or GS and experiment with various shades.
Hope that helps some.
Cheers
