What-d-ya-mean? The colours meet with the manufacturer´s references perfectly!!!Great build by the way ... is this OOB?
But .... why not try something odd and unusual and paint this with old-fashioned military colours ... green and rust! Can just imagine this with some heavy weathering.

Very nice Pat, but I picked up a couple of inaccuracies. The road wheels are supposed to be more evenly spaced, and are slightly too dull a shade of green, and the headlights should be lower down on the front end by about 3mm. Other than that, it looks fine to me.

Not bad but.....
1. It's wearing a USAF sticker on the turret.
2. If you ever decide to fire the main gun, the comander will be cut in half.
I'd also do a panel line wash, but that's just me.

I never realized the US air force had tanks. Well, now I know.
This must be Chinese. The hull looks roughly like a ZTZ-99.
It also looks somewhat like the tank the Germans designed for the Soviets around 1930.
As for 'correct camo' I dare you to paint one of your models those colours.

Wow, that is an extremely colorful tank! For a moment there, I thought I was having an acid flashback.
