Paint on 1960s Sud Aviation Alouette III in Congolese service

[TonyOD]

I'm building the helicopter in the pic below (used with kind permission of Pierre Gillard, www.alouettelama.com)

 

Can anyone offer any advice on what paint (enamel, ideally) I should use for the green? It might just be the photo, but it seems to have a bit of a gold cast to it. It's been suggested that it might be something called French Armée de Terre green. It's a colour that appears to have been on various African operated Alouettes, so I was wondering if it was an off-the-shelf colour from Sud Aviation.

 

Any advice gratefully received, thanks.

Tony @TonyOD. Look at the Colourcoats range of enamels. They certainly have a range of French colours and, in my opinion, they go on beautifully.
 

Of course, other paints are available, etc, etc .....

Hadn't thought of that... can I pitch this one at you, @Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies?
