I'm trying to find an acrylic equivalent to Humbrol 102 army green. I can't go into any model shops right now and the online crossreferencing charts seem way off on their choices. If someone has this and other colours in their stock, can they take a physical look for me? One tells me to use Japanese navy green which is way to dark. I'm making a Canadian MLVW (deuce and a half) in the 1/16 r/c section. These paint on these faded very quickly to various degrees. I have three cans of 102 so I'd like to use it up unless something much better comes along. I want to use the acrylic to lighten up the cloth top I made. The original green on these trucks is nato green but I don't want this looking new.

Humbrol 102 is FS34102 so Humbrol 117 is a close match. Maybe you could try Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green.

Have you looked at the options suggested by the Ultimate Model Paint Conversion Chart?  The demise of Adobe Flash has killed the online version, but the PDF should still be available for download, and offers several possible options, which may be 'off' or not but could give you a good start point to work from.  The PDF is no where near as easy to work with as the old online version, but has the same wide range of cross-references for various paint manufacturers.  Using Mick's reference as FS34102 gives several manufacturer's options.

Thanks I'll look into these. The xf-58 looks kinda good. I have the 117 here and it's how the paint looked new.

I've posted a work around that restores functionality until the site owners can re-program the page.
