I have Dragons 1/72 M1A1 w/plow and the instructions list the green as field gray. What Model Master color/shade do I need. Me thinks that Field Gray is wrong.

Model Master 3-color Nato Colors:

Medium Green, FS #34102
Military Brown, FS #30117
Flat Black, FS #37038

I substitute Field Drab, FS #30118, for the Military Brown. It gives a much better faded look like the actual CARC paint has. The Military Brown looks too bright to me, unless you are doing a freshly painted, unweathered vehicle.
