For an upcoming diorama, I wish to paint my figures with this scheme:

Problem is, I can't find an article on the internet with a list of colours to use. There are a lot of camo tutorials on the internet, but none seem to cover this jackets colour combination.

Can someone please provide me with a list of Vallejo paints to use to replicate this field jacket?

Here is the colors for spring oak/plain tree.

Base

DarkGreen

Green
http://www.coloradominiatures.com/VC-833.aspx

For fall...
Probably this http://www.coloradominiatures.com/VC-825.aspx or this http://www.coloradominiatures.com/VC-821.aspx

Maybe use the VC-825 mixed with some 821. Those are both the colors you want to play with! I know the 825 should work as a base for Fall and spring. Both the 825 and 821 would look great!

Dark brown
http://www.coloradominiatures.com/VC-822.aspx

For the alternate brown that also surrounds the yellow, just lighten up the 822 a bit. (Just a little)

This for inside the brown.

Those will work perfect! I've used them.
Remember, do your BEST to match the pattern as scale as you can. It makes a HUUGE difference.

I painted his pants using the colors for the spring. He's still WIP, I never finished him but the pants are done. Not the best photo but the colors look SPOT on.
