Hi badblood,
specializing your question can bring you satisfying answers.
something like telling us the time period like ww2,nam or modern; giving some details for the aircraft because a f-16 fighter pilot is 100% different than a b-17 bomber crew.
best regards

Hi!

Thank you guys for having time to look at my query, I am still a beginner in aircraft modeling anyway, what I am doing now are 2 planes (kingfisher and the OV-10), so I am looking for a WW2 and a Vietnam pilot uniforms, will appreciate if you could give me the color details of their gear.

Badblood,

Vietnam flight suits do not differ much from the one I wear now, "sage green" is the color on the tag. A good scale color match is Testors Flat Green enamel #1164 (square bottle). U.S. Navy pilots in the Pacific wore a khaki/tan colored cotton flight suit. Tamiya Buff XF-57 darkened 5:1 with Flat Earth XF-52 comes real close. HTH
