my question is, what is the best way to paint the camouflage?

Is there any tricks to use?

It will be camouflaged in Drab Olive

thanks

Welcome! I see you've bought tamiya's intial production tiger while using a pashee air can and airbrush. You might need to go back with some black or gunmetal for the rubber treads. That tank is tank 131 of Tunisia and was restored by the Bovington Tanks Museum. It also happens to be the only running tiger 1 left in the world. Some say the greenish camo Bovington used on the restored tiger is inaccurate, and I'm among them. It does look a little olive drabish, but I'd use a tamiya acrylic color called nato green. For me, this is the lightest green I'd ever use for german camo schemes. Also the bovington tank is an early production tiger, and you've got the intial production tiger kit, but I guess it could still look convincing. Nice job on the paint and tiger!
