Hello friends

They mostly seemed to carry the standard SEA camouflage of green FS34079, tan FS30219,  and green FS34102 uppers with gray FS36622 underside...linky here:

I know Model Master makes it in both enamel #1733 (I think that's the number) and acrylic #4766 both called "Camouflage Gray". Gunze #311 works too. I also think AK and Mig paints carry it? There are probably others. Baring that, could you look up a mix ratio using the paints that you do have? FS36622 is essentially a weathered/dirty off white color. Perhaps start with flat white slowly tint it?

 

Sorry, I haven't been much help...

 

Regards,

Don
