The original Duncan, of Warhammer TV fame, videos on painting camo do exactly what you want. You just need to change the colours to get your Grey-Yellow scheme which is sort of mid-WW2 German Eastern front. The Cadian camo scheme vaguely represents late-Cold War/contemporary Russian camo.

The weathering up is reasonable enough and doesn’t require much in terms of materials

For the Grey you want you could use GW Mechanics Standard Grey. AP Uniform Grey ( comes as a spray too) is a bit lighter and GW Administratum Grey a shade lighter again. If you want to go for an ‘accurate grey’ take a WW2 German Dunkelgrau from Vallejo. Though in practice it makes little difference if its just about a quick and reasonable paint job once you start washing, dry-brushing and weathering.

These two were airbrushed, but it could easily be done by hand. The Panzer III is in Dunkelgrau while the Panther is a shade lighter (because is smaller) with a paint from Mig Ammo which translates into Administratum Grey.
