Response to Great info, but...

First off, I paint almost entirely in Vallejo acrylics.

Base jungle utility uniform.... 893 Dark Green.
It matches a set of un-used utilities my father returned with. However, that's a new set. If you want them dirty/faded/used....you need to mix colors...I add small amounts of USA Uniform, SS camo pale brown, and Ivory in varying amounts to get a number of shades.

Also, Russian Uniform, and Brown Violet will cover most, if not all of your needs for painting gear.

The Mitchell pattern helmet cover is 5 colors, but I will leave that one up to you, unless you want my mixes for that.

Jungle boots...Brown Violet and Black/Black Grey

Make sure most if not all of your Marines are equipped with an M17 protective mask....A LOT of CS gas was used in Hue, as well as Chemical Smoke.
Hopefully that covers what you need, if not, PLEASE feel free to email me.
Best of luck!
Rod
