Hello. I am involved in the repainting of a Soviet era twin 37-mm B47 M1948 AA gun; a real one, not a model. I was hoping someone could provide a close match to the shade of Soviet Cold War green in commercially available colurs (Dupont, 3M, Duracoat etc...)
Thanks!

I know Tamiya NATO Green is a good match for Modern 4BO Green paint, so if you can find a match to CARC green from DuPont or the like, you should be close.

Duracoat's "Tactical Woodland Green" is what I have always used for replicating that color. In fact, I just used some on a restoration close to what you are working on. They have a version of "Russian Special Forces Green" also, but it is really far off especially in sunlight.
If you order from Lauer Custom Weaponry, use the "SL" version of the paint.
