can anyone help me find a site that has color pictures of us airborne 101st or 82nd uniforms? or if you just know what colors to use. i need it all as its my first american figure, just have been doing armor,russian and german figs as well.
i need
colors for helmet,webbing,tool covers(shovel and canteen) ammo pouches, the trousers, and as well as the jacket.

i use mostly tamiya acrylics as well as model master oils. any links will help hugely

thanks!

Hello,

I used mixes of Vallejo 879, 988, and 923 for uniform and webbing.
There is link to color pictures of original items:

Hope it would be useful

Matthew, without a doubt, THE place to start looking is on Trigger Time. It's all about the 101st and you can find all of the info your'e looking for there. Just click here.

Enjoy,

i was looking through that website give and was looking through my paint collection to see if any of them would match for the uniform. so far i could only come up with for the rigger modified M42 jacket and pants is tamiya buff. and for the reinforced patches i would use olive drab. do you think that these color will suffice?
