1/16 Dragon German figure

[MattB71]

Hi all
so this is my next project this Dragon 1/16 Kampfgruppe Hansen 1944 figure...but can someone help me with the colour scheme? still a bit of a beginner.
Not come across the hobby colour paint range before, i think the main colour here is Vallejo 70-879 (Green Brown) according to a conversion chart...is that about right do you think?
Also on the sleeves with the camo design, is it just that part of the sleeve that has the paint scheme or can the whole model be in that scheme?

Thanks fo

Hi Matt.

I made a version of this in February (the post is in Figures Under Construction Post WW1). It's one of Dragon's best.

Colour wise, the jury's out, but general opinion favours a US rain poncho in olive drab and darker green or stone grey trousers, both waterproofed. Under the poncho he's wearing a camo smock, either in Oak Leaf or Plane tree pattern - the pattern would not extend over the rest of the clothing.

Here's the model for the figure:



Obviously in black and white, so how you paint it in the end is up to you.
