Hey guys, I'm in the process of getting ready to paint my Type 90 tank, I'm wondering what color would be best for the base, what color should I put down first, the tan/brown or the green? the green is on the lighter side of the spectrum, where as the brown is also on the lighter side of the spectrum. I can't recall what color I put down first on my type 10. Or am I maybe over thinking it a bit? I do free hand my camo patterns

I usually start by the lighter color. But concerning the JGSDF, I think both colors are close enough to let you start by the one you prefer.

thank you for the help, I did just what you mentioned and started with the tan/brown then the green, both colors are so light in the spectrum, that it was a little hard, but I think I got it.
