I use MM enamel OD #34087 for most of my Shermans. I used MM Acryl OD #4728 on one, it's quite a bit lighter in color, but still very satisfactory.

Hi marder 40049,
If you are looking for matches for the MM OD Green (FS # 34087) in a book by MM called Modelers Technical Guide it gives the following references:
1. Floquil Classic Enamels #303108 (fairly close match)
2. Floquil Poly Scale Acrylics #505370
3. Floquil Poly S Acrylics #500052
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joe

Sign - Ditto [#ditto] You can even paint it in the faded OD for something different.

I normally use the the MM OD as the base color and MM Faded OD for drybrushing and highlights.

The MM OD should be just fine.
Do they make more than one OD?

Ok, out of the Model Master colors, which OD is best for the Sherman?
even if I have to mix something up. I have two days to finish this kit and cant order any tamiya OD, i only have access now to my local Hobbytown USA which only carries the Model Master line, and some Floquil.
