Hi all,
Im Just about ready to paint my 1/35th dragon 352nd volksgrenadier troops but I find myself a little confused over which color paints to use for the body ( heads are already done).Has anyone painted a set of these if so what paints did you use?.I only have access to humbrol enamels

cheers dan

Hi

I am not 100% sure on the basic colour for a volksgrenadier but if its there normal Field Grey then either Humbrol 31 or a 60/40 mix of humbrol 111 & Humbrol 90 might be a good starting point.

31 may be a bit too green though.

Paul
