I am thinking about applying a filter to an M1A1 AIM from 2004. Mig has the following filters in the desert camp range. Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe Ochre?
AMM1503 Ochre For Light Sand
AMM1504 Brown For Desert Yellow
AMM1505 Grey For Yellow Sand
Thanks!

Blain,
I have all three of those Ammo filters and I have found the Brown For Desert Yellow to be extremely versatile and can be used on light or dark paint schemes. I have mostly used this filter on German AFV's painted in dunkelgelb but it should work well with an M1. I think the Ochre is too bright, but it works really well for wood handles on pioneer tools.
