Howdy Nick, the Tamiya instructions for M1A1/A2 OIF #35269 could also be used:

Thanks guys, I forgot about those sites.

Heck I was hoping there was an available template that I could buy... Guess I've to create my own.

Speaking of which, anyone tried to print out the pattern (or any camo pattern) on frisket paper or something like that?

Whenever I paint complex cam patterns I will paint the base colour then outline the pattern on the tank with a sharp pencil. Then as Frenchy said it's all paint by numbers after that LOL.


cheers
