There alot of paint brands out there for German armour, but for a first timer i would suggest Tamiya. This should have a 3 colour scheme, so it should be XF-60 base colour with XF-61 and XF-64 on top. Are you useing an airbrush on brush painting.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I agree with Bish on the Tamiya acrylic paint and colors. 

Here's a link I found that might help.  This guy built and painted a 1:35 Elephant, but used the Dragon kit....color and camo should be close to what you're looking for

One of our forum members also buil the Dragon kit a few years ago and posted a WIP...should help as well
