I have a Saxon APC to paint up for "Home Service" use.

Any suggestions for suitable Vallejo paints for what seems to be two tones of green:

The link doesn't work for me.
I've only ever seen them in overall green or green and black, not sure on 2 tone green unless its just a bad photo colour.
They seem to have been mainly overall green for UK security duties.
I'd use vallejo 924 Russian Uniform

That link is busted.

Again, I've only ever seen them in overall green or green and black. The plain green vehicles seem to be darker shade than the camo ones, but it may just be the contrast with the black.

Russian green is good enough for the overall green or I use Humbrol Army Green), for the stuff with camo, I usually go a bit lighter, say Russian Uniform.

Earlier vehicles would of course be in Bronze Green, which is pretty dark.

British Army bronze green is dark with quite a gloss finish.

Check out this link for details and colours:

Many thanks. Evidently what I assumed was a dark green is in fact black!
