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 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
