Title: British in Tropical gear

VMC "Flat Earth"
VMC "Tan Earth"
VGC "Khaki" (Odd, that Vallejo make a paint called Khaki in their Game Colour range, and that I find it the best highlight for this type of Khaki. ::) )

I can NOT confirm that because I always paint from a black undercoat. Even when you see one of my figures painted white, and someone may kindly comment "great whites" it is from a black undercoat.

Painted some years ago...

...black undercoat.
