Base · #514535
Matching it is straightforward: AK Interactive Khaki Green No.3 lands at 94 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Color-wise this is a muted, dark brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Dark Green/Dunkelgrün (RAL 6020) in the recesses and step up to Dark Brown (RAL 8025) on the edges, both Revell paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
