Later on, during ww2 the us switched their vehicale colour from olive drab to a greener olive drab. Using tamiya or polly scale paints (the two types of acrylic paints available to be) how would you go about achieveing this colour. One way i have come across is mixing dark yellow with olive drab, but im not to sure that i am happy with this colour. Anyways if you have any suggestions please let me know.

I mix Tamiya XF-64 Olive Drab with Tamiya's XF-4 Yellow Green. This gives me a nice base OD finish from which to work with.
