I have a similar project in mind, but in addition, the F4U-1D Corsair will also appear

[@MrTigMilitaryModels]

Yes, I think that would look great! I have also looked at doing a Pacific crash scene ✈️

[@gregormacgregor2366]

Great idea. I'm just looking for the color of the USMC uniforms, and I have a question, - what color did you paint your Marines with?

[@MrTigMilitaryModels]

@@gregormacgregor2366 Thanks, I used Ammo mig Olive Drab High Light A.MIG-0928 for the uniforms, with some Ammo mig Olive Drab Base A.MIG-0926 for the darker patches on the legs to show wet uniforms or wet patches. For the tan on the helmets and webbing I used Lifecolor US Army Uniforms Olive Drab Yellow Tone UA425. Hope this helps

[@gregormacgregor2366]

Super. The color of USMC uniforms from the Pacific, has a distinctive greenish tint. I, at first, used; Vallejo Russian Uniform WWII 78.924. Then I used the Dry Brush method, with paint; Hataka A515 G20 Medium Green-Grey. Of course your information will be useful to me. Thank you.
