Hi guys, I've finished construction on 'uncle joe' the Pe-2 almost and I'm ready to paint it. I have a clear picture in mind on how to do it. Just a plain green sheme. It looks rather dull but I want to try some new weathering techniques and having one color helps me to judge the results. But the exact shade of green is the problem. From the vvs.hobbyvista.com site, I know I'm looking for something called AMT-4 green. I don't find this particular shade of green readily available from Xtracolor or some other paint company. So I obviously need to mix up something.
Here is the result. I've taken Humbrol nr 2 as a base and added some 121 and an undefined green. But isn't this too bright? What can I do to make it better?
Please help! I know there are some pretty good paint/color freaks out there

Color Reference Charts - Soviet Union / Russia wasn't really any help
