No shortage of substitutes here, Traitor Green from P3 Paints matches at 90 percent and 4 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Color-wise this is a moderate, dark brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Rlm 73 in the recesses and step up to Rlm 66 (1941) on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
