AFV Modeller issue 17 has an article on the Faun SLT in UN livery. You should be able to down load that article on line for a buck or two. Cheers.

Hi Kaimana,
I have built a few UN vehicles in the past decade and I always use Black wash (Humbrol 33) and then a mix of Black and 72 Khaki Drill to give that road dust look, then more black 33 to give it a wet dust look at the bottom and the rear of the vehicle.
Here is my Warrior Recovery and a Scimitar, just look down the page there is a couple of pics (havent figured how to post pics here yet

Hi!
I tend to paint in layers. Beginning with a black primer, then various shades of gray and end up with a dirty white.
After that, a light white drybrush. Finally, normal wear, like any other vehicle. Only I'd rather not use pigments, paints only.
The result is:
I hope it can help you.
Cheers!
