Hi there. I am paining up some 1/35 and a 120mm figure in austcam and Desert Austcam colours and are wondering if anyone has painted any figures these colors yet? If so what colours did you use? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

For regular auscam I wouldn't worry too much about exact colour matches.
Maybe a light khaki or pale tan for the base colour and a medium and dark green, and a light and dark earth for the 'spots'.

Actual colour will vary as the lightness/darknees of the uniform can range very widely through general wear and/or washing.

Not real familiar with the desert variety though.

I prefer humbrol enamels, but am willing to try anything else that works.
