Hi Mark,

Take a look at my blog (banner below), I have a british para in progress and listed the colours for the denison smock if it helps. All Vallejo model colour acrylics.

Hi Mark,

forget acrylics...just go for enamels and oils!! Easier, you can mix them, they dry slowly so you can blend the colours, advantages only!!!

Seriously now, listen to Andy..he knows his trade!!

Good luck!

Cheers

Romain
