it's good, but shouldn't he be tan or brown?

There aren't any brown or tan Zed's. Only red, green and white. Which he is. Not trying to be correct in military terms, just in Palitoy terms. There's the ground assault guy for tan desert dudes. This is just a homage to Desert Strike.

This guy was the easiest of the lot. Only paint was the Z logo's. I struggle to call this chap a custom.

Oh Sandy ;) All the Toltoys guys were articulated, he'd never have survived in an articulated Desert.

Nice one! You can't beat Palitoys dedication to making everything go with everything slse! Had AF kept going with Palitoy for a few more years you can guarantee that every head swap custom we've ever come up with would have been a reality!
