Like I said earlier Leon,quick build,and it does look good in its undies! .....For the colours,I reckon a lightened Tammy Nato green,same with Nato brown...Can't make out from the piccy,what that 3rd colour is...very light sand,or grey,or IDF Sinai grey??? |

Thanks Cee Bee,was thinking the same on the NATO colors.I'll try and find a better pic for the third color.Sand or gray does sound good. |

Go for it Leon.
It does have a certain familiar look about the scheme and colours - maybe a dungelkelb as the base with the lightened NATO green & brown suggested?

Sure looks like it- perhaps something like Tamiya Sky with a wee bit of NATO green added?

You might be better off starting with a Light Gray and adding green tint to it to get that color or something close enough. Takes a lot less paint to darken a lighter color than it does to lighten a darker one. Either way, that's a neat scheme choice Leon!

The GREEN looks like Testors/Model Masters Dark green with dirt splashed on it.
To me, that's my opinion.
