Is there any manufactures that have released a marine Corp ww2 camo paint set? If not, is there any video or viable reference point for colors i could use to paint this camo pattern?

Thank you.
Edit: What would you recommend for using tondo different shades. I’m used to using the Andrea miniatures paint sets which really have you doing highlights and shadows every other step.

There are some decent YouTube videos/tutorials on figure painting, shading, highlighting and mixing paints.

Check the search window for Calvin Tan, he’s a pretty good figure painter that uses acrylics mainly.
