Hi All
Im building a Tamiya M3 Lee kit and Im ready to paint the figure. I would like to know if someone knows the proper way to paint this figure to depict North Africa 1942. The kit says to paint the figures jump suit Dark Green....is this accurate? Is there a website that you know of with color pics?
Thanks

I don't know the answer, but if you look on Missinglinx.com Steve Zaloga has a Stuart in N. Africa with crew and they appear to be wearing dark green coveralls with a khaki colored jackets since it was pretty cold and rainy by all accounts in Tunisia during the winter 1942/43.

Hi Orion...Dark green might be the term but these overalls were made of a twill that fades fast ..I would go for a green much like the marines uniforms from WWll ...Don't go with a real dark color..
