Hey. I just got Dragons US 101st Airborne Division (Bastogne 1944), and was just having a look which paints I should use. However, whilst there is the key for the paint numbers at the top, there are no paint numbers.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if anybody can tell me which paints to use for: (pref. in Humbrol Enamals) :
The Wool Overcoats
The Boots
The Short Jacket (The one on the Thompson gunner)
THANKS!

Here are two links to Tim Streeter's website with a review and a guide to painting US GIs in World War Two. I used this site to help me paint the coats and boots on the figures.I used Testor's Leather color to paint the Melton overcoat and a dark brown for the boots. The rest of the uniforms were painted Olive Drab.
Hope this helps.
