I recently acquired the RyeField M-ATV as well as Panda’s M-107A7 and EMEE-1. I am kinda burnt out doing CARC Tan and was hoping to do something different. I am curious if the Marines field the HMEE-1 and are any of them in CARC green or NATOflage? Does the USMC use a similar M-ATV as depicted by Panda and do they have vehicles in Green or NATOflage?

Do U.S. Army M-109A7’s come in other flavors?

Any help is appreciated.

As far as the M-ATV (what a beautiful kit by Ryefield) goes, there are some images of camo’ed vehicles out there. The ‘109A7, as opposed to M107A7, any colour as long as it’s tan, tan, or tan.

The M-ATV carries a non standard camo of black, green, brown over tan. It looks quite fetching, really. I’m gathering images myself, to do the same thing. The turret will need upgrades to minigun, too.

There are images of a black, and dusty, M-ATV in Iraq, as well.

The HMEE is available in NZDF green, if you care. So that’s a yes, no, no for camo.

HTH,

And, there was s this thread, too https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/208733&page=1

More M-ATV options :

Polish Special Forces :


Croatian Army :



Even more "exotic" ? From Yemen (the gun comes from a BTR-80A) :

Did they polish the wheels of those Polish M-ATV with shoe polish?

By the way: the last three images don't want to display,
add the links to them as well

Whoever did the "digi-cam" on the ones from Yemen seems to have lost his concentration and work ethics after the first few squares ...

Is it better now ?





1/35 scale model :

I am sure the M109A7 Paladin will eventually be in 3-color NATO camo as well. It is just now being fielded to stateside units and so far they all have been units whose vehicles are in overall CARC sand. Once it gets fielded to other units that are NATO camo (Europe, Korea, Stateside NATO-camoed units (such as 1 AD or 1 ID)), it too will be in that scheme.

The M1240 M-ATV is also fielded in standard NATO camo in Korea.




US Army has all-green HMEE-1s as well.

Hi H.P.
I presume it is better now but I would have to clear my web browser cache to be certain.
I copied the image links from your first post and viewed the images in separate tabs and that copied them into the cache and that caused your original post to work for me.
Someone else needs to comment on the visibility of those images.



Gino: I just realised that I had totally misunderstood the size of the M-ATV. Those two standing by the M-ATV look like midgets. I had to look up the size of the M-ATV to get the image into perspective.

To my knowledge we don't have any HMEE-1's. Though I could possible see that as a replacement for the SEE tractor.

To my knowledge there is no 1/35 kit of this only the CMK 1/72 reisn kit which is a shame.

Send me your email address. I have a full walk around of camoed M-ATV's.

This one must have gotten stuck in the pipeline...

Thanks Robert
