Hi,
Very soon I'm going to start painting some 1/35th US Airborne figures.
I have never painted US WWII figures before so was wondering what colours you guys use.
I usually paint with Vallejo acrylics.
Could you tell me what I should use for uniform, webbing, boots, etc, etc...
Thanks for your help.

Joe.

Hello,

Lifecolor has made 2 special sets of 6 colors to paint WW2 US soldiers:
*the first is for the clothes themselves;
*the second one is for the accessories such as webbing, shoes,...
I have this second one (for the accessories) and it is very useful to me because it provides an interestig range of colours for shading the clothes, backpacks, webbings,...
