Hi Thanh,

Mike Starmer has a mix for it you can find over on ML

Remember when the tank was painted, how much exposure it's had to the elements and battle usage will all effect the colour, but this should put you on the right track.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the reply and the link. I mixed a small sample using Mike Stammer's formula and it is very close to Tamiya Olive Drab, xf-62. I also found Tamiya's suggestion for British Cromwell tank as well as XF-26:XF-52:XF-1 at 4:4:1 ratio. I took a picture of my test sample. The one for the Cromwell is more like a dark green color to my eyes. Wonder which is better for Sherman Firefly. Thanks again.
