US rangers France 1944 (Soldiers)

[rafaelega]

Hi all,

Recently I purchased this SOLDIER "US rangers France 1944" figure.

Because it is my first figure of US WWII soldier I wonder if somebody can help me with the colors. I usually use Vallejo colors (acrylic).

I attach the figure pic as appears in the box.

Thx,

Rafa

Rafael, unfortunately I can't be much help to you ,I haven't painted many WII figures,
but I know you will do a good job on it,looking forward to your step by step.


Ciao,

Roc.

Hey Rafa, i'm considering buying this fig. Can you do a little review? It will be much appreciated.

Daniel,
I'm about done cleaning up this figure and intended to do a review of it. Give me until tonight and it'll be posted.

Rafael,
The M42 jacket was a slighly yellowish khaki, so perhaps Khaki (988) would do nicely. The HBT trousers were sort of a brownish green, so some sort of olive drab green would work, such as lighter shades of US Dark Green (893) or Olive Grey (888). As for the leggings, try out Buff (976).

Hope this helps,

Daniel,

Perhaps you (and me) prefer the review of Pete Herrera. I will follow that revision with interest.

Thanks again,

I know I promised you guys a review a couple days ago, but I got busy catching up with work - an unfortunate aftermath of the Chicago show. I've already snapped some photos and have made some notes, so I'll have it posted later today.
