Hello everyone,
Looking for thoughts, comments, and information on the first production M-1 named Thundrebolt. Tamiya's kit instructions says to paint it olive green, some information I've seen indicates that olive was no longer in use at this time. Instead FS #34127 Forrest Green was being used. Is this correct, or possibly FS #34079 Dark Green or FS #34097 Field Green? Thanks for any and all help.
Regards,
Joe

Have you seen the pics from here:? 1978 - USA M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank
Perhaps the pics will help... my guess is they are closer to olive.
