hi,
i received the tamiya army staff car which comes together with an officer.The indicated colors as usual is what suits tamiya and i have never painted one before.What are the correct colors ? i have mainly gunze and valejo colors.

The US Army Officer's uniform was known as "Pinks and Greens". It was a khaki pair of trousers with an OD Green jacket and khaki shirt and tie.



The officer's field uniform was the same as other soldiers of the time. The early war uniform was an OD Green fatigue pants and khaki jacket.


Later in the war, a Herringome Twill fatigue uniform was introduced, which was overall OD Green.

the pic of the officer is the one i need help on,which are the colors and mix to get to the right tone for the shirt,tie and trousers? i have gunze khaki,olive drab 1 and 2,valejo khaki,us field drab ,tamiya Buff.thats as close as i can get from what i have without mixing.

Sorry, I can't help you with those brands. I use Testors Model Master colors exclusively. The ones you have sound good though. The uniforms fade differently and there were variations in shades from different manufacturers.

fine, which model master colors did you use or mix for the tie, shirt and pants ?

I use OD Green for the jacket and Khaki for the pants, shirt, and tie. Leather Brown for the shoes and brim on the service cap.

the pants tie and shirt are much lighter in color than the standard khaki out of the bottle color,this is the reason for my posting.What is the mix ratio and with which color?

Sorry, I can't really help you any further. I don't do any precise mixing. I usually get the closest I can find in a bottle and go with it.
