I am building a Tamiya Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero in the markings the Japenese aircraft wore after the surrender. I have already prayed it white but i am at a bit of a loss as to the shade of green for the crosses. Can anyone help me here?

Thank you. Do you have any idea if anyone makes a paint thats close to it? Or what colours i need to mix? I prefer to use Xtracrylic paints.

Very interesting subject and different aspect to reflect the War.
Would love to see the finished Zero

Thank you for your interest in my model but sadly it is no longer. It took a nose dive off my shelf early this year and was broken beyond repair. Im planning to get my hands on the 1:32 kit and finish it in the same markings again.
