Painting Viet Minh 75mm RCL


 Here is a step by step process to paint Redstar's Vietnamese 75mm recoilless rifle team. Vallejo paints are from the model color range unless otherwise stated.

Clean up and prime grey.

Vallejo basic skin tone on all skin 

 Vallejo Khaki on the uniform

 Citadel Loren Forest for the 75, backpacks, and satchels

 Citadel Boltgun Metal for the MAT 49, and Vallejo Game Color Bonewhite for belts, canvas and weapon straps.

 Vallejo Game Color Offwhite for the rice bowls

 Vallejo Black for sandals, Citadel Mournfang Brown for canteens, Citadel Castellan Green for shovels

 Tamiya Cockpit Green for helmet covers and Citadel Camo Green for helmet foliage

 Vallejo Game Color Sepia ink wash, watered down a bit

 Mount the figures on their bases accordingly, I've decided to replace the pointing crewman with a different figure so that i can use pointing guy as an NCO in another squad.

For my basing I cover the base with Citadel sand then paint over it Citadel Gorthor Brown

I can't tell you what grass flock i use as it's my roommate's mix and he's forgotten what all he mixed in it but just about any static grass will look good.

  1. They look good. I've got to say, the wash really does do the trick.
