Hi All
I'm building the Dragon M1 Panther II MDCV and was wondering what the crew would have worn for a vehicle serving in Iraq. Would it have been ACUs or the tanker overalls? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ACU's

Primeportal has a good walk around of the vehcile in Iraq.

Hi,
sorry, I'm too uneducated to post a real link here, but my build report at

The uniforms would depend on when you are depicting it from. For initial invasion in '03 up to about '06, they would be in DCU 3-color desert camo. '06 to '08 was a transition time and either DCUs or ACUs could be worn. APR 30 '08 was the wearout date for DCUs. From May '08-'11, they would be in digital ACUs.

Thanks for the help guys.
Gino, that's the info I was looking for; the time periods of the various uniforms. I have several modern US Army figures in resin I can use. Hopefully I'll get it done soon and post pics.
Pete, I checked out those pictures on Primeportal and they were great, thanks again.
Peter, that's a great article of yours on the correction you made, I'll be using some of them !
Thanks again everyone for your replies
