Hi guys,

I'm in the process of painting an M-977 HEMTT EPP III in 3-tone camo and I would like to know if the camoscheme is being continued INSIDE the cargo bed.
Since the dropsides are down on my model to show the EPP generators I don't know what is common practice.
I know that the official TM drawings so it does, but what is the common practice in reality.

Yes, it normally does continue into the bed of the truck, but gets heavily weathered and worn.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply !
I just will paint according to TM regulations with the camo scheme !
Since the inside of the cargobed will be visible when operating the EPP III ( the dropsides are down to form a walkpath ) this would be logical !

Thanks again !
