Oils Guadalcanal Marines

    I've been converting the Dragon Guadalcanal Marines into a gun crew for the Vision Models 75mm pack howitzer. I wanted to set the dio in Guadalcanal, but the pre war fatigues worn during that campaign are, according to the paint and illustrations a very light green. Does anyone know better? What would an appropriate mix be?
    TIA!

    Is that Kit No. 6379?

    If so, Ron Volstad's excellent artwork graces the box , he is also know to frequent the forums here :)

    Thanks

    Yes, It's 6379, but the figures are converted to a howitzer crew, I don't think I'm going to attempt the 'twill' effect at 1/35, I'm not that good, but I will do the sweat and grime. Met Ron years ago at Chicago, amazing guy, and very nice.
