No chance to get Revell paints? In case yes, these are the numbers:
65 Bronze green RAL 603/ FS 34064
84 leather brown RAL 8027/ FS 30051
06 tar black RAL 9021/ FS 37030

I use the following Testor's Model Master enamel colors for 3-tone NATO camo.

Medium Green, FS# 34102, MM#1713

Field Drab, FS# 30118, MM#1702

Flat Black, FS#37638, MM#1749

These give a more subdued and realistic look as actual vehicles in the field have. The brighter colors listed above don't stay that way long. Modern CARC fades quickly. Here is how it looks when done.

Gino,

Do you use the Field Drab for the "brown" part? That color looks awfully green on Testor's website. Just clarifying to make sure. Thanks.

Yes, the Field Drab is the brown.
