You see.. I got here a Gundam kit "RX-75 Guntank". I want to paint the clear part with clear green since the scheme of the vehicle is in jungle. Problem is, the clear part is already molded in clear blue. How will I turn it green?

Should I just apply clear yellow since blue + yellow = green?

Wow, that's a tough job! Here's an idea: blue and yellow make green, rught? You can take some yellow paint and thin it to the consistensy of water and then paint the blue part with the thinned yellow. I have never tried this, but in theory it works.

I think that one or mote coat(s) of clear yellow will solve your problem...

Hahaha! Got it! Thanks for the head up! I've used clear yellow and applied it. Too bad, I think I sprayed too much that it looks more like yellow green. :-)
