21st Century Firefly???

I ordered this because the Sherman Firefly wasn't available anywhere else. Its a nice model, all plastic, nothing fancy. But it seems an ideal candidate for modding. Mind you, I haven't painted a model for close to 40 years now. Also, my choices of paints and sprayers are limited in Korea.

But, given all that, what paint schemes might you suggest? Again, its a 1:32 plastic 21st Century Sherman Firefly w/76mm gun.

Thanks

Commonwealth or British vehicles were painted a bronzish green usually. This restored Firefly is a little lighter though.
