what colors to use for 82nd airborne D-Day ???

[marco14]

Hi,
It's the first time i wanna paint a bust from the 82nd airborne (figure is from RP models) and don't find and know what colors to use???
I saw a video on you tube,but it's confusing already for the base color,I used Vallejo 71.272 German Yellow brown,but it looks strange and not good (see picture) and it must be German Green Brown,but that is not available.

So I don't know what to do about the colors,complete confused pffffffff

What colors can I use for this bust please,also webbing,back pack ,pouches

Thank you very much

Mario

Vallejo German camouflage beige is the exact match for D Day airborne.

I use life color paints name hbt. But I also mix it up with other colors to get different shades of belts. I will look at my list of Vallejo colors to see what I used on the last ones.

I got the set 1 and 2 from life colors also for US uniforms,but I still struggle ,you see so much different colors for uniforms that I get confused,I see that the 82nn airborne is like more a brown uniform and the 101 ste airborne,is like yellow/green
still a lot to learn bigtod,but I appreciated your help,thank you
