Using Vallejo desert tan base

Armor/AFV Painting & Weathering
1

Ive been trying various paints for ODS-era vehicles and just finished an M49 in MM Sand FS33531 for a statside-painted vehicle.

Ive used Vallejo Desert Tan Base to finish models in the past and it looks similar to MM although a little lighter.

Any ideas on color and mix ratios to turn my nice big bottle of Vallejo into FS33531?

Sorry but what is an M49?

M49: 2 1/2 ton tanker truck, usually used as a fuel truck, but could also be for water.

No, I never prime, never have.
