UA088 - Italian Mimetic Brown 2 FS30109

Italian Mimetic Brown 2 FS30109

The blotches of the Italian camouflage pattern are small but prominent work on a figure, and this brown shade, listed under the number FS30109 of the US Federal Standard, is named for exactly that job. It serves on camouflaged clothing, on shelter halves and capes and on helmet covers.

The pattern is painted in layers

First lay down the base tone of the whole cloth, then add the medium blotches and only at the end the smallest ones. Brown is usually the part of the pattern that carries the contrast, so do not be sparing with its shape, but be sparing with its area: blotches that are too large on a figure look like stains rather than camouflage and break up the outline of the figure.

Typical use

• brown blotches of camouflaged clothing and helmet covers
• shelter halves, capes and shelter quarters
• a darker counterpart to the sand and yellow tones of the kit
• small leather and canvas parts of the equipment

Who it is for

For modelers who build figures in camouflaged clothing and need the brown element of the pattern with a clear designation in its name. It goes well with the sand and green tones that make up the scheme.

Keep out of the reach of children and work in a well-ventilated space.
