Olive Drab color for the Sherman

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.

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

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

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

I always just use the MM OD, works great for me

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

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.
