I am trying out Mr. Davidson's confetti vision port technique on my Abrams, but I havent had much luck in finding the right colors. I know they change colors if viewed from different angles, but if someone could provide me with the general hue of the ports, it would be wonderful.
Thanks much!

Maybe this picture from Tanxheaven can help (it's a M1A1AIM, but it should fit the bill as well...) :


Here's another M1A1 picture (John Heck's picture from svsm.org ) :

Frenchy

I think the purple or dark red confetti flakes will look best. The colors on the real thing range all over the spectrum, as Frenchy's images show, which looks wrong when you try to model them that way (it makes the model look like a Christmas tree, IMHO).
