Olive Drab 41, the color used on early P-40s was that shade.

Tom if you have MM brown drab that is a much closer color to OD41

I checked my paint stash and found out I do have Olive Drab ‘41. Very close match similar to Model Master Faded Olive Drab.

If you have Model Master Green Drab, FS 34086, that’s a good match for fresh OD 41. Model Master never made an OD 41, only the later shades of ANA 319 and postwar 34087. Both are lighter than 41.

Top coat on. I decided to use LifeColor Olive Drab '41. Looks spot on to me.
It won't be long before this bird is done. Hopefully, I'll have her finished by tomorrow or Monday.
