I'm building this model from the box, with only an aftermarket barrel for the 104mm recoilless rifle. So far so good, and I'm happy for the info and pictures on the vehicle.

One problem-the jeeps in the pictures look like some dark olive drab color, rather than the one specified in the kit instructions. Which color would I use for the jeep-and would the recoilless rifle be painted in the same color?

Most pics I've seen show a darker color for the M40 barrel...

I went to a local hobby store and looking at the Tamiya spray paints, it seems as if the AS-9 is like the "brown olive drab" that would suit my purpose. Anyone else confirm this please?
