painting a Tamiya Centurion tank

[rr82@mediacombb.net]

I ordered a Tamiya Centurion tank. And am thinking about painting it looking as if it came right out of the shop. What color would match better TS2 Dark green, TS61 Nato green, or TS9 English green
thanks for the help

The colour used by pretty much all British Army vehicles post 1948 upto 1975 in the ETO was Deep Bronze Green.

Deep Bronze Green was a very dark shade of green with a nice sheen especially when wiped over with a diesel soaked rag
After 1975 everything became matt and matt green was often matched with matt black.
Corporals still tried to get their men to put a shine on the matt green landies
