Well as the title says I would like to know if the Russian Green in WWII faded and turned yellow like the American Olive Drab? Or, did all the paint fade the same way? I would really like to as will soon be painting and weathering an SU-152 from 1943. I would like to know this for my color modulation of the tank. I was planning on painting the tank Russian Green the add a little yellow to the green and to high-lights, is this a good plan for this tank?

Most front line combat vehicles on the eastern front did not have much opportunity to display fading paint as the vehicle casualty rate was pretty high. You might not need to worry much about the issue for your model; dust and mud is going to have far more effect on the finish of one that only survived for a matter of weeks or months.

The SU-152 was introduced in time for the battle of Kursk in mid-1943. How many of them do you see still in service by the time of Operation Bagration less than a year later?

Realistically its doubtful many Soviet,or any WWII tank, lasted in combat long enough to have faded paint. Thats just my 2 cents. I'm not very familar with 4BO to give any advice other than some historical context.
