Finally compiled all that I have on how to paint Japanese tanks with my best current color matches for the following colors:

Pre-1942 Khaki (Khaki-iro)
Pre-1942 Khaki (Khaki-iro) – Alternate
Pre-1942 Mahogany Brown (Tochi-iro)
"Pre-1942 Olive Green
(Midori-iro)"
Yellow (Disruptive Striping)
Post-1942 Khaki (Karekusa-iro)
Post-1942 Brown (Tochi-iro)
Post-1942 Olive Green (Tsutikusa-iro)
Post-1942 Green (Kusa-iro)

At this point I have Mr. Color, Ammo of MIG, Vallejo, Battlefront, and Tamiya equivalents worked out.

Although interesting I cannot read the color chart on your webpage.

Say it ain't so Disco Joe!
Just click on it and it expands.
You should be able to read it then.

What JD said… blogger compresses the images until you click on them… and their tables are a disaster, so I stuck with the image.

Thanks JD. I wasn't aware about it.

I have the chart saved off on an excel file – I'm going to try and make a PDF version of it available on the site as well…
