British 1944

[.:Gunslinger:.]

Hi LAFers,

I'm planning to start playing disposable heroes and like to build up a british and commonwealth force! However I'm not too sure which colours to use... I'm undecided between the colours provided by the foundry WW2 range and Vallejo colours which I normally use to paint my stuff.

How historically accurate are the foundry sets? I like those, because they offer specific sets for the different parts of the uniform!
What about Vallejo paints? Does anyone have a painting guide for 1944 British and Commonwealth uniform (not paras), using Vallejo colours?


Thanks for any help!

Regards,

Gunslinger

The Vallejo box has a good painting guide on the back and includes all the colours you need.
They do a different box for British, Russian whatever infantry and tanks.
I have the British one if you want I can give you the paint nos of it??

No problem the set is BPS01 British paint set. It includes:
Russian uniform 924 for Helmet
Khaki 988 for webbing
English uniform 988 shirt and trousers
I know you didn't want para details but those paints are in the set.
Green ochre 914 para camouflage
reflective green 890 para camouflage
flat earth 983 para camouflage

The english uniform bottle is marked 921.

I think I go that way and buy the complete set-looks like a got investment to me Especially as you get far more Vallejo paints for 36€ than Foundry Thanks for your advice swiftnick!
