Greetings,

I am currently building Tamiya's old M1 Abrams tank (35124) with a MERDC camouflage. Apperantly it is one of the early Abrams tanks from the end of 70s and beginning of the 80s. There is a tank commander included with the kit and I decided to use him as well. My question is, what would be a suitable color from Humbrol of Testors Model Master series for his uniform? Tamiya suggests a mixture of %50 Dark Green+%50 Khaki, but I am looking for a shortcut in enamels if it is possible.

Thanks in advance...

Testors Model Master Medium Green is a pretty good match for the OG107 uniform worn at the time.

Thanks Gino. The Medium Green you mentioned is the Medium Field Green (No:1786), right? Should go and get it...

No, it is just Medium Green, FS#34102, Testors #1713. Good luck.
