Need help from my fellow model builders in Australia since I am building a Australian M1A1 Abrams i want to add a companion troop carrier
since there is no model of the M113SA4 available im opting for
the ASLAV-PC I have a question ob the colors is Trumpeter's ASLAV-PC calling for ther correct colors because they are different that what the abrams is in is that correct or is Trumpeter
in correct?

I have the auscam set from SMS

I have used the mouse house paint on vehicles and found them to be very accurate, the green is a very tricky colour to match as there is no direct equivalent. you will not go wrong with mouse house colours.

Hi Nick. There is a Resin kit of the M113As4 which Mouse House produce:

Mouse Houses' Australian Lusterless Olive Drab is the best choice for accurate colour, but if you are going to weather your model, you will change your base coat colour anyway.

If you want acrylic, then there are these - I have not used them yet myself so I can't comment further:

I have this earlier AK set, but have yet to use it. I can advise the horrible dark colours in the picture are not representative of what the paint in the bottle really looks like though!:

I’ve shifted to SMS Australian camouflage colours.

On my 1/16 Abrams:

I did forget to mention the M113AS4, been sitting on the coffee table for a few weeks, this would have to be one of the better resin kits I have seen, the level of detail is fine and excellent but I have just been on their catalogue page and I can’t see it listed but age and senility could have set in, the kit is MA202.

also, I have paint mix ratios for DPCUs (auscam) both for uniform and packs, webbing and hootchie (a large sheet of cam plastic that has many uses primary being a shelter) etc., they are 3 or 4 colour mixes but the are pretty spot on as I compared them to my old uniforms and packs.

tried putting it in but it appeared confusing, if anyone would like it message me.

Guys I wouldn't get to carried away with trying to get the colours right unless you are doing a vehicle straight out of the paint shop.
A few years ago the company I worked for at the time supplied an attachment for army excavators & we spent a lot of time at Holsworthy Barracks in Sydney with 17 Construction Squadron.They had all manner of equipment out there both in camo & straight olive drab & no 2 were the same unless freshly painted. The lusterless olive drab tends to go a bit "chalky" with age even though it is a polyurethane paint.
We needed to buy some paint for touch ups & that was a very drawn out process as there was only one official supplier. In the end I took a sample to the local Autobarn & they matched it with good old quick dry enamel in spray cans & no one noticed any difference.

That would explain why some patches of of vehicles would absolutely “glow” when viewed under night vision, I guess.
