I finally bought a Type 63-2 Chinese APC. Trouble is, I saw color pictures but not their specific descriptions. Also, do I correctly assume the color patterns are randomly applied?

I should bump this by saying that I noticed that the instructions show both the four-color scheme and the all-green scheme (presumably the same as Soviet green). Also the pictures of Tiananmen Square show both green and modern colors for the APC's, and I originally thought the green ones were older models, but evidently not after all.
I could go green, but prefer the more modern four colors to show how the "modern" China has proven not so benign after all.
