I am starting to build a 1/35 scale Trumpeter M1126 Stryker. In viewing photos of the real Stryker on the Internet, the color appears to be a medium green as opposed to a true olive drab. Can anyone tell me the correct color and perhaps the FS number and where the paint (enamel or acrylic) can be obtained? Thanks for your help.

For me the closest match is Tamiya's XF-67 NATO Green + Tamiya's XF-65 Field Grey. I buy both bottles and mix both together, thin and paint. Again this is my match while others have their own. Model Master #1714 Forest Green, I've heard others use this color.
