Hi;

This is kind of A Hard Question to answer, As the 70 can be found in quite A few Different shades of Green. What color does the Instructions say to use, My best answer would be most likely from what Period would you like to depict in your build, are you going for A Soviet Vehicle used in lets say Afganistan, and How you Weather it will alter the color that you use. If you are thinking of A more Modern version then maybe the set offered by MIG may be what you are after. And if you are so inclined you could try and Copy A vehicle on the NET, the examples are Endless.
Also try and Gather as much reference material that you can find such as A Book on the BTRs, I think one of the Better Choices if you want to try A mixed camo, is Soviet Sand Grey, Olive Green and Black. In reality it all comes down to Personal Choice as too which one that You like the Best.

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.
