Model Master Acryl Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943, Is there version of dark yellow for Armor, I tried it, but doesnt it seem to have to much green in it to be accurate???, or or Tamiya's Dark yellow more representative of panzer dark yellow?

Chips and actual items I've seen painted Dunkelgelb were more tan than greenish (if a paint manufacturer uses black to darken the yellow ochre, it will turn green, since most black pigments are really dark blue--blue + yellow=green). Still, some people say that some batches of the original paint were greenish (perhaps for the same reason). If your paint seems too green, add a drop or two of red.

When the MM goes on and dries it actually does look very good. Especially when weathered.
