I have an old bagged Airfix 1/76 Chi-Ha, and I was wondering what Tamiya paints I should use for the camoflage. I tend to use either Tamiya or Polly Scale.

I have used Tamiya dark yellow as the base, with PS dark brown and black green for the camo. You would probably be ok with flat brown on a 1/76 scale vehicle, and any dark green shade. Flat yellow for the disruptive stripe. If you can find it, PS also made IJA brown.

On my Chi Ha I used Tamiya XF-13 J.A. Green, XF-10 Flat Brown, XF-57 Buff, and XF-3 Flat Yellow for the disruptive stripes.
