Hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me with a bit of a dillema. I'm building a USMC M1A1HA in the 3-color NATO scheme, and I can't quite figure out how to paint the sides and top of the Missile Countermeasure Device. Neither the box art or directions are clear on how to go about this, and all the pics I find online are either blurred from a distance or show it in the wrong camo pattern. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated! Also. would Testors 'camo green' be an acceptable substitute for olive drab for ammo boxes, duffel bags, etc.?

Have a look at Ryans (melon) photos. He got some great shots of the MCD.

I'm afraid those pictures are no good to me, for the same reasons stated above. They're either the wrong color or not clear enough to worthwhile reference images.

Wrong color? They would only be one of two colors-green OR tan. Not camouflaged. Won't find many photos showing better detail then those.

Maybe this one will help about the color. Both the MCD and the M240 ammo box are the same green color.

Did you open them or just look at the thumbnails? Ryans pics are excellent references, and I guess you have to take the pics yourself if you want anything better...

How is this blurry?


Posted from Ryans album..........Great pics BTW and just using this one for illistrative purposes

If ya want anything clearer than that, then find a 1:1 example:|

As far as color, it was stated that they either come one of two ways, green or tan. THAT one happens to be tan
