Thanks Hanno and Keith - when you say khaki green (and I know this is probably a futile thing to try and explain in an email) is this a light colour like say, British pattern webbing? (and I know there are a million variations on this).
I just remember as a kid, the Humbrol model paint listed as khaki was a pale, sort of grey/green - it was nothing like olive drab. Sort of Steve Irwin shirt colour. (How's that for a colour reference?)
