I'm currently building the above model. The final suggested paint for Version A (Red Army, Unit unknown, Russia 1941) is a 1:1 mixture of XF-4 & XF-58. I'm not keen on mixing large amounts of different paints, as I either don't make enough (and then the next mix is a slightly different shade to what I had before), or, I make too much, which is really a bit of a waste, even if I manage to store it, as I doubt there would be enough for the next kit that needed that mix. I looked up the Tamiya KV-1 (which I built previously) to see what color that was, but couldn't find the suggested color leaflet that came with the kit (annoying as I have kept all the instructions to the kits I've built). I then looked up Trumpeter's KV-3. This gave Russian Green (1) (Mr Color #135), which I don't have. The only comparison paint I have is Revell 36161 (Emerald Green), but this looks a bit too bright (Modelshade gives a 4star comparison). I'm probably ordering some more kits next week, so could wait and order the MrColor then. However, is there another paint that is more akin to this mix, (Humbrol, Vallejo, Hataka, Life Color, etc.) which I could order at the same time? Thanks in advance.
