My M1114's in Iraq faded to a lighter shade of tan. Mainly on the areas most exposed to direct sun light. So if you shaded your M60 with a lighter shade of desert tan that would work.

Can always lighten up the tan with a little white mixed in if your air brushing.

Would that be Carc Tan 686A Fs33446 mixed with a little white to "lighten" it up?

Others here have recommended Model Master Sand FS33531 which looks faded already, and once you do your weathering it brings it to the "right" faded tone.

Id post a pic but damned if I can figure out the pic-loading aspect of this site.

One thing I forgot to mention. I was able to replicate, closely, Model Master Sand FS33351 with Mission Model Paints.

1:1.5 ratio MMP-038 to MMP-001

MMP-038 = US DESERT TAN MODERN
MMP-001 = WHITE

Vallejo Model Air makes for bad brushcoating. Could it be thickened?

Fantastic! Thank you for this! Frankly, I have always hated Model Master paints, the acrylic in particular, but I used the Sand (4720) to paint my M1A1/A2 tanks because HeavyArty, our resident US armor expert, has always said that this is the best stuff to use. I've tried to create mixes for Tamiya paints, and I've come close, but never felt that I had really nailed it. I am moving in the direction of Mission Model paints, so your post could not have come at a better time, for me!
