Hi gang,

Thanks

Color is called Sage Green. MM Medium Green is close, but there is no paint color that I know of that matches it.

Nam:
Just about shade of OD will do. I personally like the OD colors from Testors, such as OD and "Faded OD." You'll need a couple of different shades anyway as all that flight gear is various on the same basic color (Tamiya Khaki Drab -- Xf-51 -- is another good color to throw into the mix for survival gear).

You can see several color variations on this page:
