Hello Gents!

Can you recommend the 3 best colors to match the 3-color fatigues used in Iraq/Afghanistan (the BDU previous to the new grey-green digi-camo)?

I have a couple of Blast Model's infantrymen that I plan on using with a M1117 Guardian that are in the worls for a small checkpoint viginnette (sic?).

Thanks!!!

Jorge

I use humbrol enamels.

Base: 121 Pale Stone

The Brown/Red: 62 Leather (can be lightened with 121 to make it faded.

The Green patches: 120 Israeli Light Green. Mix it with a bit of the pale stone to fade it out.
