What's the best Vallego colour for this combat kit?
I came across this blog post with a painting guide: http://basementwargamer.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-half-painting-guide-for-korean-war.html
I'd use Grey-Green. Even modern stuff fades and varies by manufacturer so one colour is a compromise.
Knowing American uniforms, and their penchant for fading, frey-green.
Wanna fight my North Koreans?

Thanks Leon - what code is that Olive Grey?
It would be good to have a complete Korean painting guide to suppliment the rules if anyone knows their shades of olive
Found it - VAL 888
Mind you VAL889 is US Olive green?? :-\

That would be far too bright. Olive Drab would be fine for helmets and vehicles.
Thanks Nobby - much appreciated.
Sorry Ian - too many call signs on the net!
I assumed a senior moment....
More a case of having to remember your new titles in the "upper house".
Thought the frog was a bit of a give away :-\
Paint arrived promptly yesterday - many thanks Leon!
And yes, OLIVE GREY is the a very good shade for US uniforms.
My thanks to their Lordships.
