Oddly enough I was thinking that myself for when I finally get around to buying one of yours, and doing it in those markings! Personally I reckon it would be a light yellow, khaki-brown shade (similar to Humbrol 26 or 29) and possibly a third, greener shade but looking at the image looks like just those two, with a black border
