Hi, can anyone recommend which Vallejo colours would work for an SLDF scheme?  :)

Reflective green, or any of the WWII U.S. army greens would work well. German camo medium green is close too.

While not SLDF, I've found that Vallejo's "Brown Violet" (just why they call it "brown violet" is a mystery for the ages...) works very well as a good OD green camo scheme for my 7th Crucis Lancers.

For their game color line, I used Yellow Olive for a base followed by Cayman Green, and (I think) Camouflage Green for the highlight.  Various mixes in between each color were needed to make the transitions less jarring...it's not quite a P3 Triad, in other words.

I haven't done an olive-drab with their Model Colors yet, but several of the greens suggested previously would work.  Soviet Armor would be one I'd take a look at as well.
