Hey Everyone

Most people interested in Aussie Armour probably have already seen the new Aussie Abrams painted in the tri-color AUS CAM, but these images were posted yesterday. Enjoy!! I've got to build another one now...

Not sure of actual colors, but Mouse House does decals for them.
Here are some photos from last September:

Not sure of the exact colors either, but I imagine they're the same as the ASLAV. There are several ASLAV builds on armorama you could search for paint mixes.

Echelon Decals has the decals for them through their site or through Mouse House, but with the new tri color camo I think some of the marking no longer apply, as I think the RNs are in a different color now, rather then the black as per the decals and tan colored Abrams as seen in the background.

I still haven't seen any good walk around pictures of new tri-colored ones to show if there are any differences in the marking colors. Something to keep an eye out for. I wonder if they follow the late Leopard AS1 marking colors with white RNs, bridge class, etc.
