That is a really good question. What Tamiya color matches Soviet WW II armor?

When I built my KV-2, I undercoated with Vallejo Bronze Green primer, then used Vallejo Air Russian Green to paint.

Vallejo makes a Russian Green 4B0 surface primer that works great as a base coat. Use filters to get the shade you want or just weather it accordingly.
