Hi Colin, paint matching was a struggle but I ended up using 3:1 of Vallejo blue green and pale sand. It was a bit lighter than painted PE panels but wash evened it out.

Have fun with this one Dave, mine is coming up also in a few months, great kit!!
Colin, you can use or Testors 2135 Russian interiour green ( if you can get it) or mix Tamiya X14 and Gunze H46 at 1:1

Dave, I have one of these in my stash that Vegard Pedersen sent me some time ago that I MUST build, so I will be soaking up as much as I can on how to do a great build by watching how you do it. 🙂
