Late War Panther camo ???

Hello

I have finally started a redo on the 21st Century 1:18 Panther winter camo. It will have the late war base coat of dark green with hard edged primer diagonal broad stripes. I want to outline the primer stripes with a disruptive line. I know that most common would be the dark yellow. Ihave read some articles to indicate at the end of the war captured paint from various armies were used including a cream color. My question, as I am trying not to spend any extra money on supplies, does anyone think an ivory/creamy color could be used for the narrow stripe disruptive lines or is that to far out there.

Thanks

the creme* is iffy on German factory built AFVs..most likely IIRC it was on Czech built Hetzers

debate is ongoing if it is a creme or dunkelgelb from the photos still.

I think they used the color on late late war Tiger II's with green. Not so much cream but dunkle like Panzer M said.

missing-lynx.com had a few threads about creme camo.

I don't remember the details of how the went, but you can ask there or just run a search on the site or google
