As the title says, what sort of paint is recommended for '60s and '70s era French OD, before the switch to modern NATO Tricolor? ISTR it is more on the brown side than US OD, not quite the same shade. I prefer Tamiya paints, but have access to Polly Scale, Testors Acryl, and can mail order Humbrol Acrylics in a pinch. Dislike Lifecolor, and do not use enamels anymore (for health reasons).

TIA,

Damon.
