I don´t think there s an out-of-the-jar solution. I have the same problem. I will go with XF-5 Flat Green mixed with yellow.

Tamiya Park Green is quite close. It’s a gloss reference though.

I highly recommend Hataka Orange Line paint. I have used their IJA paint set and it is outstanding paint. Shoots beautifully right out of the bottle. Perfect finish. Colors are very accurate.

I would go for XF-67 NATO Green. Its a very universal color, I spray everything from Strykers to GDR NVA.:slight_smile:

Jonathan, I have painted my K9 Moukari with Vallejo paints some years ago. Meanwhile I’m pretty sure that the light green colour does not completely match, but I have used these paints …

… the darker green matches quite well though. For Black I have used Vallejo 71251 Nato Black …

I’ve built my Moukari as it was seen in summer 2017 at the tank museum in Parola. Meanwhile the Finns have upgraded them, I know. Maybe this helps you a bit.

I finally used the Tamiya xf-5 green paint and I mixed it with yellow about 50/50. I did a few tests directly on the box of the model
I think I am close to the original color
I have left to make some touch-ups in certain places on the NATO black,
thank you for those who gave me the advice

Looking real sharp- both in shape and the accuracy of the color!
