Hi. Can someone please identify the camouflage color on this picture ? I would like to use these colors on my old Tamiya LVTP7a kit. Thank you.

The pattern was known as MERDC. There were different color patterns for different areas of the world and different times of the year.

That color scheme you have linked to was known as Winter, US & Europe, Verdant and was comprised of Forest Green, Field Drab, Sand, and Black.

Here is a website telling more about it.

Not to hijack the tread, anyone have a copy of the Tamiya instructions? I have the HobbyBoss AAPV-7A1 and I just don't trust the paint guide.

PM me your email and I'll send a scan of the paint guide from the Tamiya instructions.
