First: I am impressed by the way you make all the electronic and mechanical functioning components fit in so little space.
Second: I
agree with you about the woodland camouflage for your Chieftain. My reasons stem from my (ironic) peacenik leanings, but I will spare us all any boring explanation.

As far as paint schemes, I believe Chieftains delivered in the 1970's were delivered in Bronze Green. There is a famous set of picture of a parade in Newcastle of them painted up in this scheme. Might be an interesting alternative.

Either this or NATO green and NATO black, you cant really go far wrong.
