The Vallejo 71623 WWII USMC Colors Green & Grey Patterns 1942-1945 set in 6x17ml bottles is a carefully developed palette of acrylic paints intended to faithfully reproduce the realistic colors of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) from the World War II era. These paints are designed for both tank and military vehicle modelers, as well as for aircraft equipment and soldier figures. The set is dedicated to painting plastic and resin models in various scales (e.g., 1/35, 1/48, 1/72), where historical authenticity of camouflage is key.

Historical application and color expertise:

The colors included in the set accurately recreate the green and grey camouflage patterns used by the USMC from 1942 to 1945, both in the Pacific and in operation theaters across Asia and Oceania. For example, vehicles such as the M4A2 Sherman, LVT, various types of transporters, and auxiliary equipment used layered painting in Olive Drab, Field Drab, Light Green, or Forest Green. Ocean Gray and Insignia White were also used for weathering effects and markings, as well as background for formation symbols.

• 71.279 Insignia White – ideal for markings, recognition elements, and fine details.
• 71.139 US Field Drab – excellent for shading and weathering, popular on wheeled equipment.
• 71.043 US Olive Drab – the key base color for USMC tanks and transporters, present on Pacific fronts 1942–1945.
• 71.137 US Light Green – used for layered camouflage on vehicles and support equipment.
• 71.294 US Forest Green – enriches green schemes, adding depth and realism to model surfaces.
