I'm not too particular, so XF-62 works good for me. Mostly, though, I use Model Master Acryl Russian Armor Green.

Hi Pnzr-Cmdr. Dont get too hung up on Russian green. In my opinion Nearly all shades of dark green are usable and after weathering it should be OK. I have used Humbroll 116 and 117 (US dark and light green), and also a mixture of XF58 olive green and XF67 nato green. All 3 have looked well and after weathering there is not much noticeable difference. US light green is not that light!

Hey John,

Mostly I start with a mixture of mostly XF-62 (mixed with yellow, white, XF-64, etc.) depending on my mood and time period. Occasionaly I use Model Master's Russian Green, but not that often.
