it Depends what pattern do you want to paint.Flecktarn trocken-heisse Gebiete a.k.a. desert can be made of XF-57 Buff as base, XF-67 NATO Green and XF-64 Brown. The problem with the grren Flecktarn pattern is the base color. I wold recommend a mixture of XF-5 Green and XF-21 Sky. XF-62 Olive Drab, XF-67 NATO Green, XF-64 Brown and XF-1 Black.
Here some pictures from Bundeswehr homepage.
