I have the actual TB 43-0209 for
"COLOR, MARKING, AND CAMOUFLAGE PAINTING OF MILITARY VEHICLES,CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT".

However, it's the version from 1990 and doesn't include some of the latest vehicles.

Specifically, I'm looking for the LMTV (M1078). It's not in the 1990 version of course. I can't seem to find the latest version.

I know I can piece together photos and I actually have access to the real deal here at Ft Riley, but the manual would be more useful.

Are there any references other than the 1990 manual?

I found a 2007 version, however it doesn't include any figures which show the outlines of how to apply the pattern to vehicles as the 1990 version does.

Dang, that sucks. I know there's specs someplace.

They may not be published in a TB any more. If CARC spraying is limited to depot-level facilities there's no need to publish patterns for troop use. The depots can use the full-size camouflage basis drawings issued for individual items.

MIL-STD-193 Rev L "PAINTING PROCEDURES AND MARKING FOR VEHICLES, CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT, MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT, AND SPARE PARTS" is another valid reference, but it was rescinded back in 2007 and it doesn't have pictures - only paint NSNs and coating/color information. It does tell you where to get the drawings.

By the way, this MIL-STD was approved for public release.
