Default Thanks Hanno....

You are correct with the time frame and color...... it was pointed out to me by Don Dingwall the same thing......

.... in fact in disassembling my truck every evidence of leftover paint.... deep inside recesses and overlapping panel is that some kind of OD Green was originally used and form a test batch... the spray from the can OD WWII flat green is very similar if you allow for slight changes for time/oxidization......

On the Humbrol paint sample..... my son the modeler has offered to mix the formula for me as a guide.......

Thanks for the tip..... meanwhile I am having fun with mixing the 3 basic colors red,blue, yellow..... but I am still getting too much gloss... I will have to drop by an automotive paint shop to buy some flatening agent.... or the drug store for baby powder.....

I will have the only shitty brown paint that will smell like a baby's bottom...
