Hiya it's me again,
I was wondering; does anyone know if the're any army M1A1's painted in Olive green, I know the USMC does have them, but I don't know about the army....
Thanks!

Haven't seen any. All new Army Abrams come from the factory in either desert sand or three-color NATO camo, depending on which Division they are going to.

Thanks for the reply... I kinde knew there weren't any, but since I started messing arround with my airbrush and a bottle of olive-green I hoped maybe there were....

Thanks... Just have to stay with the NATO 3-tone I guess...

There is a Olive green M1A1 in the Motot Pool behind my office. Most of the M1A1's in the texas Guard are painted Olive green. There is a Texas Tanker floating around here some where, He can verify this,

Hi all,

after Desert Storm most M1A1īs returning to Germany were repainted monotone Forest Green (FS 34079) but not all.
