Personally, I'm really looking forward to their M109A2. Lately, I've found myself buying more AFV Club models then any other manufacture. Joel

I just wish they would be the ones to make a M992

Ye ain't a tough guy until ye painted a MERDC scheme on a mersheen. "Red Rocks" Farrell, member of the Whyos gang[/quote] I do paint MERDC. It's just that every time I do the model in MERDC it ends up in the bottom of the wastebasket, or worse, in my cabinet of shame.

One unit I was in had it done by the maintaince battalion and there was still quite a bit of varience between tracks. If you think its hard to get the pattern on 1/35 scale try 1/1. Some of the real ones came out really bad, it all mattered on how much the crew cared. TC

It's the colours that I used to use that looked way off. Of course, I've heavily changed my modus operandi for painting and priming since then. I may give MERDC another try with a refurbished USMC M60A1 with ERA in the future.

Someone makes a MERDC acrylic paint set. I think it is Lifecolor. EDIT: Yes, it is Life color: LINK

I guess I could possibly give that a shot.
