Hello all,

Once again I am in need of your knowledge, I am currently in the process of starting the Tamiya Type 90 with loading crew and I was wondering if all Type 90s have a olive drab and brown camouflage.

I am planning to paint a winter camouflage but the pictures I found don't seem to have a brown camouflage.

Thank you for any help you guys can give me,
Regards,

I believe the winter camouflage is applied over the normal Olive and Brown scheme. As far as I know there is only the one scheme used on the Type 90 and that is the olive and brown, which is the standard camo on most JGSDF vehicles.

If you look close enough at the pics below, I guess you could make out the brown spots :





Here it seems that the white color has been applied over the olive one :

Thank you both for the help, I had added the gloss coat right after the olive drab thinking it was the only color, I guess I should have stuck to the instruction manual.

Thanks’ again!!
