goon 1,685 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hi Gang, I have some lovely metal Dad's Army mini-figures to paint. The problem is I can't match a colour by eye to save my life! Which paint / colour should I be using for WWII British Army uniforms? (Sorry if it's asking the bleeding obvious but my inability to pick / recognise colours really holds me back sometimes ) Thanks, Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jessie_C 14,079 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 The specified colour was Khaki, but that varied per dye lot, material the uniform was made from, age and the quality of the light it was seen in. It was a kind of brownish/greenish colour. Tamiya XF-49 Khaki is a good starting point. Then add a drop or 2 of white, black or green to vary it a bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
