Hi all
I'm currently working my way through a CyberHobby M4 flamethrower tank from the Korean War (the boxing which includes 4 USMC soldiers). I've shyed away from figures in the past, but am thinking I'd like to paint these guys up. Can I please get a general consensus on the uniform colours, as well as overcoats, boots, webbing etc?
TIA

Patience grasshopper.
Utilities would be a sage green color due to fading, more of a medium green when new. Web gear and leggings are canvas in a variety of hues.
Remember the Chicom soldiers referred to Marines as "yellow legs" due to the color of their leggings. The heavy over coat from that period was a medium green.
Boots were brown rough out leather, cold weather boots were rubber. Packs and blanket rolls were WWII style. Helmet and shelter half was the green side/brown side camo also from WWII.
