Hey Tony!
Here's the info:
Grunbraun RAL 8000 covering 2/3, Graugrun RAL 7008 covering 1/3.
Fiefels were dark grey in some photos, base color in others.
The Graugrun definitely has a pea green color to it. I suspect overuse of this color is the source of the green Tunisian Tiger stories.

Thanks Matt,
That's what I thought I understood from many of David's earlier posts.The thing that threw me is the kits instructions which indicate Dunkelgelb 2095 as the base color and 1710 Dark Green as the camo color.

RAL 8000/7008
Study photos of the tank you are modelling. There are subtle differences in all of them.
Some are seen with dark gray painted Feifels, some are seen painted a lighter sand color most likely RAL 8020.
