Hi it is very hard to say which paint is correct for Jungle green , I have 8 sets of original un issued jackets and trousers . All of which are different shades of green/ grey / sandy khaki . Due to the dye used they faded very quickly to a grey green rather than a true green. Find a good colour ref photo and go with that , No judge can mark you down as they have never examined the original item . Mine is based on 40 years as a researcher and colator to private uniform musem cheers ian

David, where did you find British figures for Burma? I'm trying to do a dio set in Burma but can't seem to locate any good figures. As far as jungle green uniforms is concerned, Osprey has a good book in it's Men at Arms series titled The British Army 1939-45 (3) The Far East. It has alot of color plates with the various uniforms worn by the British in the CBI.
