Gentlemen: Anyone have a recommendation on which Krylon or Rustoleum (or other 'common') spray paint is best to base coat 20mm Russian Armor?

Alternatively is there a hobby paint, that is reasonably economical?

I used Krylon "Hosta"

Rustoleum Specialty Camouflage "Deep Forest Green" is a pretty good dark green base.

Not a Russian tank, but gives a good idea of the color.

One of those has a more blue-green paint, which looks to me more like the "standard" Soviet green, but I can't recall which, and can't find my paint sample swatch now, of course.

Will update when/if I find it.

Plastic Soldier Company and Vallejo make spray paints of WW2 soviet tank colour.
