M42 Duster What color?


Recommended Posts

I'm currently building a Duster that I'd like to finish as a Nam era machine. My searching has shown every shade of green in the book. I know photos are deceptive and so is the internet, so if any one has some idea as to the color, I would be humbly in your debt.

Thanks in advance............

Our national guard unit (NM) had M-42 Dusters during the Vietnam war and they

were a dark green pretty close to FS-34079 Dark Green. Of course some what

faded due to the southern NM hot and dry climate. HTH. Sorry, no pictures.

Thanks for that info Arty. Now to decide on when during the conflict I want to paint it.

Here's a shot of my progress so far. Still have a long way to go.
