Does anyone know a good mix for modern Russian green using Tamiya paints? I've had my last problem with Ammo of Mig and am going back to Tamiya.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a formula for modern Russian green, but for WWII I use the following:

Start out 1:1 and adjust from there. I add deck tan to fade the color.
 
All those?! no wonder Tamiya doesn't make a Russian Green, you have to get 5 of their other colors! :rotf
 
Thanks John. I have found 3 mixes but its hard as everyone seems to do WWII. Here are the colours/mixes I have found so far.

Russian Green mixes


(1) My recipe is the following:
Mix: 5pts XF61 (Dark Green)+ 3pts XF71(IJN Interior Green) + 1pt XF8(Flat Blue)
To scale add XF71(IJN Interior Green) OR/AND XF60 (Dark Yellow)

(2) It's probably just one from many. XF-81 Dark Green


(3) If you are looking for a Russian 4BO color, here´s a recipe I've found some time ago:

•Base 4BO: Mix: 06 parts XF-61 Dark Green + 02 parts XF-49 Khaki + 02 parts XF-58 Olive Green.

•Highlights: add to the former Base 4BO a little more XF-49 plus XF-4 Yellow green.
