Marc,

You need to provide a little more information. For the US and Brit uniforms, desert or woodland camo? For the European countries, which countries? I have a lot of camo color plates and photos, advise which type of camo and countries, I can scan and e-mail you the stuff.

I don’t know what the box art looks like on your Russian figures and I’ve got several different camo patterns for them, so you’ll have to be more specific or post a link to the kit. For your US soldiers, I believe the box art is in chocolate chip camo, correct?

6 color desert camo with Vallejos

950 black

3 color desert camo with Vallejos

847 dark sand
866 green gray (with a little white or yellow to lighten it up)

If someone has a better green for the 3 color camo , please let me know.

what is base color for these uniforms?

 

[rdclaeps]

I would use the lightest color of the camo scheme for the base color.

 

[mcsneed17]

so what is the base color?

 

[rdclaeps]

You can use dark sand as the base color for either of the US camo patterns.

Here's a photo of the US 6 color pattern:
