Dean gave me his British Tamiya formula: 5 parts XF61 Dk. Green, 2 parts XF62 Olive Drab, 2 parts XF3 flat yellow.

But article is outdated as Tamiya changed formula of Olive Drab (it's too green now).

In conclusion, I will prefer the color "OD from Valejo" on the other hand, does the base color (Primer) have an influence on the final color? following sorry for all my questions? but completely useless at this level ??

If you are using rattle can - no. It could be affected if painting using airbrush or brush.

Tamiya also sells a Lacquer "Olive Drab": LP29
