This is a small vignette I did a few years ago (about 8 ) and finally got around to taking some good pics of it. It depicts an M2A1 of the 24ID in Operation Desert Storm ('90-'91). The 24 ID had its Div Cav Squadron painted up as OPFOR (enemy) vehicles for maneuvers when the call came for them to go to Saudi Arabia for ODS. They left the vehicles in this unique scheme for the war.

Here is a pic of one of their vehicles.





EDIT: After some errors were pointed out by a good friend, I have made corrections. The actual vehicle is an M3A1 CFV. See the new M3A1 thread for updated/corrected pics. EDIT

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it.

Neil, I have a Samsung Digimax 430, 4.0 mega pixel camera. It does pretty good, but I still struggle with the color at times. It doesn't have a white balance (not that I can find anyways??), so I have to photoshop just about every pic. to get the colors right.
