Hi All
I was wondering what paint combinations (ie Type and Amount) that people use to be able to get that U.S. WWII Brown Drab that was used on armor. Maybe you can tell me of a paint that is already mixed to the right color or combinations of paints mixed to achieve this color.
Thanks
Orion

Me too, I was recently looking for a brownish olive drab !
Looking at the hobby shop I found GUNZE H304.

I just played around with Olive drab and Military brown until I found somethng that matched up then sprayed on what I mixed. Did the same thing when I used the dark green olive used in the late 60's. only mixed in black. I almost always use the Testors Model Master because I prefer enamel to acrylic.
