the camo on the figure is the desert patern used the the US MARINES the patern is a digital one with 3 shades of tan and a med shade of brown shades the only thing i can suggest is start with a base coat of the lightest tan then take a fine point bruch like a triple 0 and apply the other colors and finish off with the med brown apply the paint as fine dots

LRE 35013 US Army M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), 1/35 scale work for replacing the saw
