Japanese of course…. and you’ll paint it pink with a white Hello Kitty motive 😉

Nope. Historical tank colour schemes!

They do have a walker with colour scheme for Japan.. maybe that?

They do, a scorpion thing.

 

not sure if the fade and shape feels more Russian, American, German or Japanese…

It looks German to me , is he carrying a sci fi version of the MG 42 ?

I would pick either the so called Dot pattern , which you could do easily by punching holes in a post it note nd using it as your template for spray painting ( Green & red brown dots over panzer yellow )

Or the Ambush scheme , yellow base , red brown , green stripes , with yellow dots on the RB / G and usually one ( red or green ) color dot on the yellow .

The Sturm Tiger isn’t the best example ( too many dots ) but you get the idea . PLus its easy , who can’t paint stripes and then add dots ?

Valid point @a27cromwell

 

its tempting to do it as a German one. I might start with Skeleton Bone, a creamy yellow primer. You familiar with army painter spray primers

Sorry , no knowledge of Army Painter anything . LHS dosn’t carry it . I do believe AP does have some German WW2 colors , but what they call them ( Dunklegreb , Panzer Yellow , or ?  ) I don’t know . Maybe check one of John’s tank painting videos , IRC he mentions the paint colors he uses . Personally  I would base coat my fav German Yellow ( Spray or brush ) and just use whatever green and red brown I had handy . German camo paint came as a paste in liter cans , it was thinned with water , gas , or just smeared on with a cloth , so it can be real dark and thick to very light , almost see through like a thin wash or GW inks

It seems whiter than a desert yellow. Hm. I might spray it green, wash it and then start other primers before doing a wash…
