Title: German Armour Base Colour 1943 onwards

Hi All

I am just about to paint up some German armour received from Leon and was wondering what paint/colour people use to represent the 'dark yellow' (or 'dark sand yellow') that was applied to vehicles at the factories before sending on to units (I believe the crews applied the green/browns themselves). I hve tried Vallejo's sand yelow number 70916 but it just look too bright.

Many thanks

Paul

I use Vallejo green ochre, but it is very close to middlestone in shade.
