I have the 1/12th scale figure arriving soon (I hope), I know the uniform colour, but what is the parachute colour? Is it a specific brown? What acrylic and or oil colour is suitable, or a good reference, thanks.

Geraint,
I'm no expert on British WW2 parachutes, but i think this one is the same pattern as depicted in the model:

As for suitable colours you could use - sorry, no clue...

Cheers

Thanks Karl, will check them out. I once met one of these amazing women, and she told a very funny story of when she delivered a Spitfire!
