Please, can someone help me pickout a base colour to paint the SS camo smock of the MG42 gunner in this picture.  I am really struggling and need help.  I have access to GW and vallejo.  Please help me. 
Thanks

I depends on the camo type. For the peadots camo, I would suggest a Khaki based colour before painting the black and brown areas and the dots.

It looks like they use the Vallejo German Camo Orange Ochre as a base. I highlight it with yellow ochre myself.
