Hello, Does anybody have any idea what the equivalent of Battlefront's TYP351 Soviet Green is in Vallejo model color? It isn't listed on the paint conversion charts that battlefront has. |

does it have to be Vallejo? Ammo Mig and AK interactive have very nice Russian green(s). |

I'd like to know the Vallejo equivalent Which of those two would you say is better? |

Not sure which you're using but Vallejo does Russian Green and Russian Uniform Green. Uniform Green is lighter in color. |

AFAIK there isn't a direct vallejo equivelant to the TY colour. |

Well, this only seems to cover the earlier, pre-Team Yankee colours: PDF link |

Vallejo 894 is Russian Green, it is a bit dark imho so I usually lighten it with a dollop of ochre (which also produces that pleasing horrible 'rotten dead thing' sort of shade real Sov AFVs fade to). |

Looking at what period you need paint 4BO. 1950 – beginning of 1960 – one color (lighter, with a yellowish tint), then – other (darker). From batch to batch color changed, and most good option – to choose a shade on a photo. Here's what is not burnt 4BO on the new tanks (this is 1981, GSVG trainings):
But 4BO fades and becomes yellowish color. (Tanks from base storage of weapons and equipment, early 2000-s)
Etalon 4BO in the 1980-th year looks like this:
And just, canon 4BO structure is as follows: Natural linseed oil 30% Green chromium oxide 13.1% Ocher dry 51.5% Orange CZK 5.3%
