�Would the green-grey be the same as the WW2 color?

FR73 · General

WWI fieldgrey and WW2 Fieldgrey are two different hues. the Germans tended to use tended to use a dark grey for everything. this all encompassing color is called Panzergrau or Tank Grey. WWI Fieldgrey is actually a myriad of hues ranging from very grey to very green. the common suggestion, is "Reseda Green" or the humbrol equivilant #31 Matte Slate Grey. YOu really can't go wrong with it. I paint all my troops and vehicles that way. some examples:

What model master colours do i need for ww1 french and Hungarian uniforms please

Ww1 and ww2 feldgrau is virtually indistinguishable, though it varied a lot from batch to batch. Ultimately you're looking at a dark greyish-green rather than a greenish-grey, imperial German trousers were often Steingrau (stone grey) (which in contrast to feldgrau, Is a greenish-grey) The m1915 collar is a "reseda green" (Like steingrau but more green) except on Bavarian uniforms (they retained the plain feldgrau collar). Remember, before 1917(citation needed), german leather is all a natural brown colour, before the kaiser ordered everything be oiled/polished black. French uniforms were either a pale 'horizon' blue with bright red trousers, or later in the war, a greenish-brown khaki, similar to British and Soviet uniforms. Hungarian I am fairly sure were a light kakhi but never having seen one in real life, I can't say for certain.
