This site has uploaded scans of various models. Among them are Tamiya and Fine Molds kits that have IJA camouflage patterns for vaious tanks. I'd go for the Chi-Nu or Chi-Ri tanks which were the largest being developed for the army. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/

I used a base coat of Tamiya dark yellow from a spray can, as it has a greenish tinge to it. I have PS IJA brown, which is a dark olive brown color, and used PS black green for the dark green color on my latest build, US dark green for the Type 1 I built earlier. I gave them a hard edge paint job, but with it being a 1946 build, you could improvise more. GSI hobby color offers a specific paint set for late war Japanese armor.
