Recommended paints for British Interwar khaki?
« 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.

Vallejo Buff.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I use beige :)
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
