I need help! I am a ship modeler and armor is foreign to me.. I'm making a model of a LPD USS Siera Madre and it has a couple of AAVTP as well as M1A1s. Where can I locate a diagram with colors of an appropriate camo scheme- seems to be a Woodland tri-color? Appreciate any help.

USMC M1A1s ans AAVP7A1 come in both 3-color NATO camo or overall sand.

Thanks, could you help with paint colors? Aren't you also on the helicopter forum?

The colors are NATO Green, Military Brown, and Black. I like to use Testors Model Master Medium Green (FS34102), Field Drab (FS30118), and Flat Black (FS37038). These colors are a little more faded and look better to me.

I am also on the helo forum as well. I build modern US armor and helos.
