Many thanks for the pointers chaps. bigbisont - really funny that, in that image you posted, the third set of BDU's along and at the top (the one with a small rust stain) is a photo of my original BDU's that i posted here years back, when i was trying to work out which actor they belonged to.
Wish i still had them, would make a colour match so much easier!
Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that. Was so jealous.
As for more color suggestions, my pal on instagram @the_ready_line does some amazing custom work on NECA figures. I know he lurks here from time to time so I hope he doesn't mind the plug and his photo being posted. I asked him what he uses.
He says he uses Tamiya XF55 and 59 for the tan/khaki shades. He said the brown color is open to interpretation but as long as it has hints of gray it is good.
Here is an Apone he posted to instagram (sorry, no higher res pic of it, so the whites aren't obvious, but are there).
