Thanks Gary, I sourced the MM in Panzer gray and Afrika Mustard. Also the acrylic Dunkelgelb. Tamiya I see makes a bunch of greens, about five are dark or olive drabbish. No TS-66 listed though. TS-5,TS-61, TS-2, and TS-70 look close for Sherman 76 and maybe even T-34/85. A TS-28 looks almost same as TS-5. Amazingly, in my rubbish box I found a five year old can of TS-5, as well as TS-4 German gray and TS-6 flat black. Don't know if they're still good. If you or anyone can narrow that list further for both the Sherman and T-34 let me know, I'll save the $. Or maybe I just try the old TS-5 on some scrap since I have it.
That just leaves the brownish stripe camo on the late Tiger 1, which is carried thru to the wheels, anyone have a thought on that let me know. Thanks again, Gary and group.
