Here is a pic of a pattern used by USMC Stuarts in the Pacific.

I think that most were just Olive Drab with camoflauge being applied at the crews discretion.

On the bench:

1/35 Tamiya M26 Pershing-0%

1/144 Minicraft P-38J Lightning-50%

Numerous 1/35 scale figures in various stages if completion.
