Mid 80's German infantry uniform colours.

Starting work on the Modern German Combat Command, and I am wondering what colours the infantry uniforms should be? I use the FOW paint sets (Vallejo I believe.)

Moin,

I am not familiar with the named paint sets but can tell you that the old German army uniforms had a olive green color. After washing it several times it became a so-called stone-gray color.
May this be of help.

Cheers Ben

So, either an olive green (which I think is what is pictured in the GHQ catalog) or a grey-green.

Thank you. That is of considerable help.

You are welcome.

If yoo require it, I could send you a photo of a worn trouser to show the actual color.
Just PM me your e-mail address.
