Hi all,
Trumpeter got it wrong in the kit instructions for the three-tone camo. But I can't find the proper pattern. I've googled a lot of websites with no result. 90% of the results concern battledress camo, the rest deals with MERDC camo.

Could anyone point me to an official site/publication or an accurate scheme?

TIA
Olivier

This is from TM 4750-OD/2 USMC Camouflage Patterns (dtd 2005).

Thank you Daniel.
I didn't manage to find the TM 4750-OD/2 on the internet.

Now I can resume painting my LAV.

Looks like the color drawings below match the TM ones quite well :
