AK Interactive or Ammo by Mig Jimenez Olive Drab?

[Raven Morpheus]

Hey all

I've almost run out of the pot of Model Master Acryl 4728 FS34087 Olive Drab that I bought (mainly because I goofed up and thinned half the pot, in a spare Vallejo bottle, when it doesn't appear to need to be thinned) and the place I bought it has sold out and all other sources of MM acrylic paints that I've found are too expensive when you factor in shipping to the UK!!

I need it to do some touch ups on my 1/35 UH-1C and also to do another model, so I'm looking for alternatives, I've got the Vallejo Model Air equivalent (#043) but it's not the right shade I'm looking for (I used it on my 1/48 UH-1 and I'm still not entirely happy with it), it's too much on the brown side so I'm after as close a match as possible to the Model Master paint.

I came across AK Interactive and Mig Jimenez paints and they both appear to have an Olive Drab range of paints.

Does anyone here have any experience with either range of paints, specifically their Olive Drab range? How close a match to the MM FS34087 are any of them, if at all?

TIA

OK I'll answer my own question...

I bought a pot of the MIG Vietnam Olive Drab (FS24087) and it's darker than the Model Master FS34087. Luckily I didn't need it for the 1/35 Huey but I'll probably use it on other Vietnam helicopters I've got planned and see how it turns out.
