Hi all, what colour would you paint the uniforms of the british Rifles and KGL light infantry? Would prefer tips for a Vallejo model colour, because i already have quite an array of these.

Thank you very much

British Rifle Green is a really quite a dark colour, a bit like Vallejo Military Green. Instead I use Vallejo Olive on such troops, such as 1870 Prussian jaegers and my Crimean British Rifles. 


A little goes a long way
