Okay, down to the last two weeks before a competition, and both of my recovery vehicles are sitting begging for the paint.
I am using the 4-color MERDC pattern for the M728 (no, really, an M728, not the Academy blade tank) and need the pattern for the M-60 series tank to apply the correct pattern.
The M88 will be the traditional semi-closs OD with white markings. Seems the bigger vehicles were always the last to be re-painted.
Appreciate any help!

Thanks guys for the links. I've prowled around Rob's Motorpool, but failed to find the pattern, only the TC. As for the other link, I was able to access it, but when trying to print the pattern, no images appeared on the paper, only the text. Ideas on this? I'm using aol and a lexmark all-in-one printer.

Jim,
Go here; http://groups.msn.com/Armorama/natinfmuseum.msnw?Page=2
I uploaded the MERDC scheme as photos. You should be able to copy and save them. They are on pages 1 and 2. I hope this helps you.

Right cllick on the image you want to save. (Put your cursor over the oicture nad press the right mouse button) Then chose the "Save Picture as" option and put the image in a folder you can remember. If you have good photo software, you can use an edge tool to remove the background and just keep the tank image. Inserting that trimmed image to a word document will aloow you to vae paper and ink.

Well, when in doubt, e-mail the link to your work PC and try it there. I did that yesterday and managed to print the b&w patterns this morning. So, come Sunday, I have a date with the paasche and the joys of pattern painting. I appreciate the advice on correcting the downloading problem.
I hope to talk the daughter into using her digital camera to get some photos posted, will be a first for me!
It's a shame that work has to spoil a perfectly good day!
