I just got into WW2 armour model building. I am really struggling with the german paint schemes. I prefer to use Model Master paints. I know MM2 has all the panzer colours from the early grey to the multi colour. It seems though there dark yellow is pretty good match, but the olivegreen looks to blueish and the brown does not have enough red in it. Can someone please advise and provide advice:

What MM2 colours to use for Afrika yellow/brown solid scheme?

What MM2 colours to use for dark yellow, green, red brown scheme?

I tried Tamiya paints but there dark green is like black almost. Olive green looks really dark too. I find MM2 paints more thin and feathered then Tamiya.
