Oh I don't know????? I was going to play with MIGs Faded Green and or Luftwaffe Yellow.
Hey you're the Little Green Man in my way of thinkin, ya got any ideas?????
Unca' T I gots lots a ideas. Not all of them are good'ns though. :pp I'll answer here but if you want to jaw a bit about it you can call me, I'll be here at the workbench and 'puter on and off all day. I know it's sometimes hard to follow text.

I wouldn't start with MIG's faded green, your paint is pretty light already so I don't think it needs to be lightened, it is good to have on hand though because if you make it too dark, you can bring it back later. The Luftwaffe Yellow would be awesome on a three colored Panther, muting the stark red brown and dark green and tying it all into the base color yellow, but I wouldn't use that here. At least not at this stage, if further weathering makes this green too gray, you can use the yellow to bring it back a bit.
So what would I do? Well a brown filter will work with green, on say a half track I use that on the upper surfaces and sides etc. but for the deep recesses, nooks and crannies around running boards and fenders and shadow areas etc. I use a very dark blue. I have normally mixed my own because it's just too simple. If you have oils paints there's no need to buy anyone's product but having said that, I have been using AK Interactive's wash 'Brown Blue for Panzer gray vehicles' It's a wash but after applying it into the recesses, I will drag it out onto the surrounding areas and then blend it in with another, clean brush, damp with spirits.
In short, I would use dark green or dark blue colors along the lower areas, especially under overhangs where shadows are cast, to imply shadow and maybe a brown filter on the upper most surfaces.
Look at your photo carefully, see how the light creates a bright green on every upper most surface like the gun barrel and then as the barrel wraps around into shadow it darkens. Try to mimic this effect with your filters/washes.
If after all you work it seems to dark to you, go over it all with the faded green. Just remember less is more and it should look like you are applying water, if you see pools of color it's too thick. Sometimes it's best to apply several layers to achieve the color shift instead of trying to do it with one application.
If it ends up too gray? try that yellow.
If it ends up too brown? try the green.
If it ends up too yellow? try the blue.
I know it seems like a lot to take in here but it's simple. tread lightly and go slow, you have the skill set big guy, I know you can pull it off and have fun too.
