I like the picture style, puts me in mind of Blandford books and Airfix box covers

Hi  
What colour paint would you use for painting in green and brown mottled "summer-leaf" camouflage ?
but looking at the picture it looks like light brown and dark brown ?

I have got a 1/48 scale Sopwith Camel and i am going to glue it together over the holidays.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
David

Thanks all for some really neat sites on the planes.
I love to look and see all the different planes and where they flew after the Great War,
thanks again.
