dark yellow is the base.
depending one when the stug saw action the base would either be german grey or dark yellow. when you paint them yellow they are quite light. But once you weather them they darken considerably

Don't be afraid to give it a try. Dry brushing is very simple and easy. Washing and pastels are very effective, Color modulation and various other techniques can also be learned from library and hobby books (Tony Greenland & Osprey), DVDs, Youtube and a trip to a local hobby shop and well as the Web. Pick up a couple of junk models at a garage or rummage sale and test your skills on them before trying anything on one of you prized tanks. Water based paints allow for a world of mistakes to be erased. Experiment and give it a try. You will be amazed.
Dirt, mud, rust and oil/fuel stains prevail on AFVs so anything along those lines is fair game for weathering. When I sell a RC battle tank I usually do not weather them as that tends to be a very personal preference. It is something I leave up to the buyer unless he wants me to do something specific to weather his new tank.
Good luck and give it a try, Bob thecommandernj
