I agree with Tim. English uniform is too dark for WW2 British battledress and not green enough for Canadian. Russian uniform is great for khaki drab British vehicles and helmets, and I use it as a dry brush over Russian Green for modern Soviet vehicles. I've not tried it myself, but am told Japanese uniform is great for anything but WW2 Japanese uniforms.
As they say, "A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet!"
Sod that for a game of soldiers. I have no wish to go back to the days of white spirit and enamels flaking off plastic figures. Or do you mean Humbrol acrylics?
Best not to read the names - just go by the colours.

You convert to Humbol of course !
ReplyDeleteEnglish Uniform is Vallejo 921 = Humbol 29 Dark Earth.
Russian Uniform is Vallejo 924 = Humbrol 159 Khaki Drab.
Simples.
WCL,

Which ever flavour you prefer. My point is Humbrol colours are named in British English and would therefore solve your problem.
