Thanks in advance

hmmm....two greens? for a Chieftain?? Most of the Chieftains I've seen are Green and Black.
The colors I use for them are Model Master Medium field Green and Floquil Grimy Black or
Model Master Scale Black. Never have heard of a Chieftain with a 2 green color scheme

Yes, Swampfox,
The Tamiya instruction says XF5 and XF61, The first is light green close to your MM Field Green and the second is a very dark green close to British Deep Bronze Green, which by the way were the first overall color these Chieftains were painted.
I have also hundres of green/black Chieftains pictures , So before I go this way I would try this different one . In fact there's guy who said to me he had a book with a picture exactly with these two greens, But he did not remenber the title. So I guess Tamiya did not "invented"this scheme.
Well friend if you'll find something about this please let me know.
Thanks
