Hello,
First of all, sorry if the question has already been posted, I have searched on the forum without any success...
I'd like to start an Invasion of Abyssinia project, but I fail to find the "right" painting color (Vallejo or GW) for Italian uniforms and this problem makes me crazy ! Can someone help me please ?
Many thanks (and sorry for my bad english),
J-B

Jehan,
Your english is excellent. There is a thread here which might help: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12836.0
A possible sourcebook is here:

As to colours it seems that Khaki as a colour is a shade in the eye of the beholder. I would simply compare the colour chart (link below) and pick the closest.
A link to Vallejos colour chart is here:

Yes, quite. We only have eight battle reports on our links page. Not nearly enough.
