MM US Gulf War Armor Sand is actually too dark and based on a non-standard paint that was used in ODS. The correct FS# paint currently used is FS 33531 Sand, available from Testors Model Master .

Or the three colour NATO camouflage pattern.

I find Tamiya NATO green, NATO brown, and NATO black very good...the green and the brown in my opinion need to be darkened a touch for an accurate weathered colour.
