Hi,
I need to paint a WWII US belt & water bottle cover on a figure I will be painting. I dont usually paint WWII so this is new to me.
I usually paint using Vallejo Model Colour acrylic paints so can you help on the colours I will need to use, please? Base, highlights & shadows.
Thanks. This will be a great help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Joe.

Web gear came in a variety of colors, but most commonly a beigey/sandy/cement color. Could also be a bit greeny. You could mix your colors and shades between bits of equipment for some variation.
