Hello everyone,
I've been getting ready to paint the color stripes onto my 1/35 Dragon jagdpanther and Elefant tanks and i was wondering what are the realistic paint colors? I saw a ww2 color film and the base coat seems to be more khaki than tamiyas ''dark yellow.'' Also would Tamiyas Dark green (XF-61) be more appropriate than khaki green?
Thanks
Regards Callum.

The colours I have used in the past which are acrylic are:
Tamiya paints
XF-6 Dark Green
XF-64 Red Brown
XF-60 Dark Yellow
Of course, Model Master, Vallejo etc do a range of colours too, but I am happy with these ones.
