Hi guys,

I have no knowledge of british uniforms used during the first gulf war.

I have Dragon's british SBS w/kayak and would like to paint them using vallejo's paints.

I would appreciate any help regarding color recomendations.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Angel

The British desert uniform was a two-color pattern of sand and a tan color.

Sorry, but I don't use Vallejo colors, so no recommendations. I have used Testors Model Master Sand and a light chocolaty brown color and they came out just fine.

Thanks Gino.

Hi Jon, I'll see how to deal with the sunburns. Plenty of references in Spain
