Ionic - Sets - WWII British & Commonwealth Uniforms
This 12-color set contains all the paints needed to accurately depict the iconic British and Commonwealth WWII uniform, known as âBattledressâ or âNo. 5 Uniform.â
The classic British uniform was made from cotton twill, woven with a mix of brown and green fibers, resulting in a greenish-brown or khaki tone that could vary, appearing lighter, darker, more green, or more brown depending on the fabric batch. To cover this range, the Ionic set includes three paints for the khaki base: a dark brown that can also be used for shading, and two distinct khaki tonesâone with a greener hue and one more brown.
The webbing was also khaki but treated with a green waterproofing paste, resulting in a wide variety of tones. To capture this variation, the set includes two greenish-khaki colorsâone lighter and one darker.
The set also provides the necessary paints to complete a British soldierâs gear, including the green-tinted steel helmet with hessian strips, the canteen, boots, and entrenching tool.
It also includes two skin tones that can be used as a base and shadow, as well as Vanilla, which can be mixed with other tones to add highlights.
All colors can be used directly to paint individual elements of a figure or mixed to create custom shadesâespecially useful for building depth and volume through highlights and shadows.

IONIC-0145 Â Â Dark Ochre
