Hi guys,
I have a question that I was hoping the combined knowledge of these forums might be able to assist with.
I was thinking of finishing the Tamiya M1A1 with Plow that I am working on in a scheme of either the tank camo and the plow tan or vice versa. I am not sure if either or both of these is more likely or documented. I have seen a couple models that way, but not sure how common it might be with 'real' vehicles.
Thanks,
John

Plows do come in sand and green, but it is not too common to see them mixed. Usually a camo tank will have a green plow and a sand tank will have a sand plow.

Of course the key word is "usually."
A lot of equipment at Fort Carson is green, but mounted on sand colored tanks. A perfect example is the mine rollers in my Armorama photo feature. There are plenty of green plows as well, so you can comfortably use that combination.
