Hello guys:
I'm going to build one M88A1G of AFV these days and I don't want to paint it with NATO 3 colors camoflage . I'm looking for some pic of M88A1G which painted with Olive Drad or Desert Sand. Thanks for your Help!!

Hi
The G version is only used by West Germany. I don't know if they deployed to the Gulf/Iraq/Afganistan
If they did you could do a sand/Tan brown camo.

If you convert to the Australian version you may have more colour camo choices.

Another original option could be painting it in 3-color NATO scheme and than cover the green patches with a whitewash that can be applied when German M88s are used in snow-covered landscapes. The basic pattern does not change and the whitewash is washable with water, so the green can be more or less visible...

Here's a video game M88A1G with this "Winterschnelltarnung" :
