iraq camo

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

i wanted to camo some guys to look like us soldiers in iraq, anyone know what color paints would work?

by Tsunami

are you referring the the current ACU pattern?

by Darko

If so, I'd PM the people responsible for that custom commissioned by the soldier's girlfriend (wife?) a few months back. They did an excellent job replicating the digital-camo pattern.

For this, I used a light gray, a light tan, and a light green mixed with a bit of the gray. I know it looks to have blue in it, but it in fact doesn't. I recommend getting some close up samples of the ACU pattern, and you will get some ideas on what to use.

nice fig, very good paint scheme to match the marine MARPAT. the "blue" color oy umay be referring to would only be found on Army utilities, not marine ones. while the army has a uniform for all year round, the marines use digital woodland for cold and winter conditons and desert for , well hot and desert. although we did start to wear flight suits on my last deployment, big brass rejected them, but many marine units do still use flight suits, so it shouldnt be a problem to do a custom using that. im actually trying to find a way yo make a custom frog gear that we wore that replaced the flight suit, any ideas anyone?

way cool fig, and the base color looks like what i was thinking, but the secondary color is more blueish.
