Vallejo USA Olive Drab 70889 for the top coats also get Black Green 70980 for the base coat, use it predominantly in crevases corners etc then spray with the olive drab solid coats feathered out near to the crevases so you get a slight darker feel to recesses , you can pass right accross the darker paint and achieve the same effect as long as you spray lightly and at a distance if its fine enough the darker shade should still come through if you botch it just respray it . Lots of light coats not 1 heavy one .... enjoy

As an aside paint shades varied throughout production from supplier to supplier and would look diferent depending on theatre of war they were used in and what previous coatings / camo was underneath paint chips can give you the perfect RAL no. but no one could honestly say your olive drab is wrong, did they ever stand next to your tank in 1944 the Valejo paint is chipped from original sources some other older manufacturers mixed there colours from sight cards so science has made improvements to help us get it closer. By the time youve weathered it it will look several different shades anyway
