                        Vallejo Brown Violet

                        I'm building an m4a3 (76) Sherman from Dragon(1/35) and the box suggests Vallejo's Brown Violet. It's a Panzer Series paint #70.887. How does this fare for a base color on these tanks? Has anyone used this color? If so, how does it compare to Vallejo's ( and other major brands) U.S. Olive Drab? Thanks.

                        That was also recommended for my M48 Patton.Its basically an olive drab,worked for me.It tended to me on the brown side,rather then yellowish green if you know what I mean.I thought it looked the part

                        I can see a brownish green go right on an M48. Shermans have more a yellowish green when worn in?
