Need some help with paint reference

I found an old Russian kit in a rarely visited corner of the stash.
Horrible old stuff but I thought I would give it a try.
The instructions call out some kind of green for the inside of the hatches.
What is the closest match for Soylent Green?
Preferably Humbrol or Revell but Tamiya would also work

The only reason I’m not taking the bait, is because, and I am ashamed of it, I can’t think of an appropriate reply. :joy:

Kinda looks like a lime green to me…

Robin,
For Soviet Armor, I use Tamiya Dark Green 2.

Careful, they will package that up and market it as Soylent Green II. :joy: :rofl: :nauseated_face:

Nothing comes to mind from the big paint suppliers but maybe something from a food colouring line or a bilious green might be a dead on?

I often wondered what happens to Cargo 200…

Some of it is recoverable/recyclable,
the fried type painted on the insides of
Russian tanks can’t be used, the market for
Crispy Fried Critters (CFC) isn’t big enough …
