There's a great (and expensive) series of books on this, detailing all manner of equipment used by the Fallschirmjäger:

My notes on how I painted a few tropical uniforms are very sketchy and not of much use.

I recommend watching this, which is rather informative: Fallschirmjäger FJR3 Monte Cassino - WW2 Uniforme Impression

And this one is particularly apt: 1/72 - WW2 German Fallschirmjager Splinter Pattern Camouflage Painting Tutorial! - AB Figures

Both of which proved rather useful for me recently:
