I’m looking for the right colors to paint the figures for a 1/48th scale F-14a Tomcat, specifically their flight suits and also the paint colors for the ejection seats and harnesses. I am working on an Academy F-14a (the CAG bird based on the USS Kitty Hawk in 2003). Any help would be appreciated.
flight suits will be your standard olive drab.
This pic should help you out with the bang seats…
Try matching colors to various seats found in here:

Just look for the Tomcat seats…
Flightsuits for most US pilots and aircrew not involved in Desrt Ops are Sage Green, although I don’t have a number for that, since I mix colors for that shade…
Looks like the other guys gotcha! I just wanted to say Hiya, and [#welcome]to the forums!
