Don't know for sure but I thought that the helmet color was a bit darker :?

I see one smoking while he's on duty on that ship :shock: Punish him :mrgreen:

It´s the same one whose standing in the Köln waterloo diorama :-) ;-)

I can´t see his helmet :scratch: The colour of his tin hat looks good though :thumbup:
I mean, just after a hunt of pics of WWI marines, it seems they used lots of different types of colours, from darkgreen to light tan...
