Painting Guide for US Marines 2004 Fallujah please?
« on: April 30, 2018, 07:01:13 PM »
Hi,

I wonder if someone could provide some information or a link on how to paint US Marines for the 2004 foray into Fallujah?

I have googled away but as I have never attempted these chaps before would like to see or read the work of others that have trod this path before me. I am looking forward to starting my little bunch of The Assault Group US Marines.... its been a while since I painted anything.

Would Hunvees of this period be green? I have seen them in photo's and they appear in all sorts of colour combinations?

Thanks in advance.

It's a mix of everything in that period tbh. Going through Marines on the Ground; Operation Iraqi Freedom 2 (Concord)

If it helps, I have a tutorial by Piers Brand for Task Force Tarawa in 2003.  By 2004 the entire uniform tends to be MARPAT, but most of the body armour is still Woodland BDU. Pass me a PM with your email so I email it to you.

Humvees in all sorts of models and colours. Loads of variation.
