I have a load of USMC kit for airsofting, so I know what this looks like in the flesh.

They looked very close, though not a perfect match. Originally, I thought an Israeli Khaki would do the trick, but it was both darker and more green than the gear. <br /><br />Consul, I'll keep a look out for them.<br /><br />Again, thanks, I do appreciate the input.irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-43186802659482754952011-05-30T04:32:18.117-04:002011-05-30T04:32:18.117-04:00The colours look alright!

I'm going to paint my 15mm Peter Pigs Americans today so you'll have to check my Black Powder blog for the results later on!<br /><br />I think I'll be using 'Dark Sand' straight off for my uniform, maybe with an ink wash or stain.Consulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697053824770819630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993028190813681025.post-38376501933538578872011-05-29T13:50:18.632-04:002011-05-29T13:50:18.632-04:00Coyote brown is not khaki, and the webbing needs t...Coyote brown is not khaki, and the webbing needs to be coyote brown, which as the name suggests is more brown than khaki as the latter has a greenish cast to it. <br /><br />Green pouches will date your USMC to prior to 2001 approx. Alternatively, use woodland webbing with Desert uniforms as that was pretty good to go up to the invasion of Iraq. Afterwards coyote brown webbing was standard issue.<br /><br />Hope that helps?
