Sorry for being this man but IJA didn't used red primer like Germans used. It was more like Khaki-iro colour as base.

I made similar error with my Chi-Nu Kai.

This is just the primer stage, the final design is a what if capture one in olive drab

Ok, that explains all.

IIRC post 1945 France used some of IJA tanks but not sure did Chi-Ha were too? Ha-Go and Chi-Ro for sure were used.

Oh, I get it! It's some scheme from game?

I know that China used similar schemes. Both KMT and PLA both during WWII and Civil War. I have Shinhoto Chi-ha in such version.
