Does anyone know the closest match to British "jungle green" that was used on their armor in Burma. I can't seem to find any paint listed with this designation!?!

If you can get hold of Humbrol paints there's a suggested mix for SCC13 in Part 3 of the British AFV camouflage section here

Funniest thing is that last night at my local club meeting, one of the members was giving away a whole bunch of Polly Scale paints. There were a couple bottles of "Jungle Green" in the box. I don't know if that color is still available in the Polly S line, but maybe try in any of your local railroading shops as they seem to always carry that brand.
