The instructions are quite poor and doesn’t say in which colour to paint the uniforms, boots and helmets. The figures also have waterbottles, someting that looks like a folded tarp on their backs and a gas mask box. Could somebody please let me know which colours to use, preferably by Tamiya. Also, what colour to use to paint the exposed skin, something that will indicate that these soldiers have been in the sun for a long time.
What Hans said. For a base tone for deeply-tanned Europena flesh, Citadel Tanned Flesh is also a good starting point, especially if you’re going to use oil paints on top.
Also,bear in mind that for Afrika Korps uniforms,you can get away with quite a lot of variation around a Khaki/ tan/ khaki drill theme. Sun, wind, and frequent washing makes for fade and variation.
