alright so lets say i interchange my vallejo german camo biege and my citedal kommando khaki for variation in this jackets. vallejo field drab for pants, a suitable leather like citadel snakebite for boots. vallejo brown olive for helmets. that just leaves the webbing. what colors from citadel would work? Camo green is recommended by some guides as a replacement for vallejo green grey, but if you look in that conversion sheet from citadel, i think rotting flesh or maybe even dhenab stone look closer. could anyone look at the new range and tell me if there is a better webbing choice or shirt choice?

Webbing on Americans is a darker shade than the jackets. Most of the time a bit pea greeny in the tan colour but not too obvious. Water bottles took more wear and eere often a more sandy colour.
American tank tracks were rubber so black. I generally go with a grey/black mix 1:3 with a black wash then do all the weathering on top.
