Lets discuss the yellow-ish / grey on the back of the helmet.

One colour I don't see is the back of the helmet, the yellow-ish grey scratches. Has that colour been IDed?
After re-reading this entire thread, and searching the helmet forum, I still havn't found a generally accepted color for this part of the helmet.

I had used Doped Linen originally ... it was a little too green, almost neon at times IMHO.
I agree 100% Baddblood. I went with the masking method on my helmet, Chrome, Doped Linen, then the Euro I Dark Green (mixed with RLM 24 blue), and the Doped Linen looks like a neon yellow/green.
I plan on going to the hobby shop to get a replacement color(s), but I wanted to toss out the options and see what the consensus may be. Here is what I could find:
- Doped Linen (RS post 125 in this thread)
- Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943 (Jango's Kid post 126 in this thread)
- Sand & Up Armor Yellow (Darth Miller in his thread)
- Khaki & Humbrols Egg Blue (Steve the Swede in his thread)
- ? (SpideyFett what did you use?)
I am leaning toward the Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943, but I would like to get some feedback from those that have finished their helmets. Also, a single color is easier to nail down, than a personal mixture of two colors.

P.S. The list in post #1 still does not contain a line item for this color on the helmet. Could that post be edited, to at least ID the need for a yellow-ish / grey color on the back of the helmet.
