Any ideas what would be the best match colour for the light grey para beret? The ones used in The Eagle has landed had a bluish tinge but it seems that is way off. Any suggestions/ideas welcomed?

This painting guide suggests: Beret - Vallejo 70.816 Luftwaffe Uniform WW2

Thanks for the steer. Still looks a bit too blue though. Maybe it needs to be for scale effect...

Here is a pic of a real one.

There is definitely some blue in there.

Adjust color to match.
