the best way to airbrush this scheme? and what tamiya colours would you use?

Start off by painting the whole model the brown color.  Next, use silly putty to mask the areas to be painted green.  This will give you the hard edge of the camo.  Next, use silly putty again to mask the areas to be painted black.  Finally, either mask the same way for the yellow or hand brush the yellow.

I have no idea what colors they are.

Here's a free article on masking with silly putty: http://finescale.com/en/How%20To/Articles/2007/02/Masking%20with%20Silly%20Putty.aspx

Hope this helps,

thanks so much for this help but how can you do it with the green?

thanks

Okay the yellow looks like Insignia Yellow, or the Tamiya equivalent anyways.  I use Model Masters mostly so you will need to kind of look for similar colors.  The green looks a bit like Model Masters "Interior Green, which is kind of half way between OD and "Zinc Chromate"  The Brown looks like standard brown.  There is that kind of gray black as well, which id fairly close to "Gunmetal".  Keep in mind that you can custom blend colors.

If you need the exact colors, I would suggest you contact the authors of the article.

As a general rule, when you spray or airbrush, you want to start with the lightest colors first and work up from light to dark.  It is a LOT easier to cover a light color with a dark one than the reverse.  You could also probably do a softer camo pattern which I personally think would look better.

Hope this helps.
