On the topic of helmet colours: does anyone know the RAL codes for the WW1 paint schemes used on the M16's? I have been struggling to find a definitive answer on the matter, with paints ranging from field grey to light grey to dark grey / verging on black. Would a slate grey (RAL 7015) be acceptable?
(I know this forum is more for WW2 enthusiasts, so I apologize in advance if this is some major faux pas)
Scroll back a little to page 3
I went with RAL 7009 - though the first batch seems to be VERY glossy - going back this week to get another version made up using the RAL colour code as a base, but they said they'll mix it up with a different base formula that is matte-based...
I've got to try to work out the colour for the Finnish greens too - someone I read said AppleGreen or MossGreen?
