And that's a perfectly legitimate choice. That is, you've thought about it, and have practical reasons for your choice. What I've always objected to is builders, who otherwise seem to be attempting a "competition level" scale model, modelers who will might otherwise go to extreme lengths to color match roundel colors, but who simply don't consider whether the antique or linen solartex are really accurate representations for the particular aircraft (which it's particular CDL) that they are modeling. Personally, another reason I don't like the solartex antique and linen (and I've used both) is that my model ends up looking like everyone else's model. I prefer more of a "one-of-a-kind" finish.

BTW, I noticed that I needed to add some red to the Nelson's PC10 to get the slightly browner shade I was interested in. You might try experimenting with a thin "reddish" wash over the Dark Green to see what you get.
