Title: Recommended paints for British Interwar khaki?
Post by: Red Orc on January 26, 2015, 11:59:29 PM

Having some need of a relatively uniform khaki (previously I've just mixed it up as I've needed it) I wondered what people recommend for British Army uniforms, specifically tropical dress of the late First World War or early interwar period - I'm planning on getting some troops to represent my long-stalled Malleson Mission project and don't relish trying to match several batches of hand-mixed 'orange-and-green'.

So any and all recommendations for suitable paints gladly accepted. Thanks in advance.
