Rifle green

Re: Vallejo paints;
Can anyone give me a recommendation on which green in the Vallejo range is nearest to the green of the uniforms of British Riflemen?

Someone will no doubt correct me with the Vallejo number, but when I did mine I used Coat d'arms Olive drab, then a black wash followed by a highlight of olive drab. Look bang on, especially when colours and cuffs and braiding is blacked in.

Black...

By all accounts rifle-green became almost black after prolonged exposure to the elements. However, it would probably look wrong on a 10mm figure.

Yer, just being naughty. 

Seriously though, I always get lighter in colouring the smaller the figure.
