Wonderdering if there are or have been any older m1083 and m1088 units, like the below image, ever had the green color scheme like the above lmtv m1078 or newer models, like in the above pic?

All of the Radian cab sets were in sand. The bed and frame could be sand, green, or NATO camo, or any combination of them.

Ok. Thanks Gino. Another question, if u do not mind. I do not own an air brush so i am wondering what color can you recommend that comes close to the sand color used on these units, that comes in a spray can? I have the Tamiya tan color but I think it dries slightly darker than i would like.

Testors Model Master Sand (FS33531) is the closest to modern CARC tan. I think it also comes in spray.

Did not know Testors did spray cans. Thanks.


Update. I am not sure they have that color. Might have to go with a tan color...

Here in Korea the 1083's are NATO. There was an order that went out a few months ago to get everything here from sand to NATO, so that is an option for you, just remember the "high-vis" reflectors on the mud flaps.

Side note, they are starting to issue MRAPS here too, just seen some MATV's recently and in NATO so you can shake up the paint schemes on those if you want. Maybe with them here Academy will release a kit too.

Thank you Dan. Pics would be a big help if possible. Is the same for the m1088? Btw, do u have a pic of the 'high-vis' on the mud flaps you referred to. Not exactly sure what that looks like. Just for info, i am building the Old Radian design m1088. That is why I wanted to know if there were any in just green camo.

I bet he is talking about the newer Oshkosh LTAS (Long Term Armor Strategy) armored cab version like below. The Radian cab was only used for about two years from '04-'06 and only came in sand. The Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC, as in the Trumpeter M1078 w/armore cab kit) replaced it as the standard in about '06. The new LTAS armored cab has only come out in the last couple years.




Here you go.

And an M1084 w/ LSAC cab in Korea (NATO camo w/caution markers on mud flaps).

Thanks for the links but I was more interested if there were Radian m1088 or m1083 that wore just the green paint scheme link in my first post.

FWIW first picture is a M142 HIMARS (the baby mlrs) not a M1083, if you google there are many three tone pics but haven't seen that scheme with the armored cab yet.
