Iraqi Tank Painting

I’m intending to build an OEF diorama. For an abandoned RG T-72 I’ve noticed that Iraqi desert paint schemes are usually seen flaking off randomly revealing the original Russian tank green underneath. My question is, what would be a good method to replicate this fl[?]aking off effect? I await your response(s) Ed Davis

Salt chipping works well. Here Is A Link to the technique on Swanny’s web site.
