Afternoon all!
I'm planning a build for an Austrian Leopard 2a4, and noticed the green paint scheme they use is a slightly different color than the normal dark nato green. Can anyone help me find a paint mix to match this? (Preferably in Mig Paints). Or should I just take normal Nato green and lighten it a bit to get this look?

The color in the first pic looks very similar to Ammo's Olive Drab Base. A few drops of a lime green might bring it closer to the other tones.
