M1A1 colors

Well-known member
I have a Academy M1A1 DS#1. I am looking for a real good color scheme that isn't desert sand. I dont know if there is a site like wings palette for tanks and armor though I sure could use a look at some different color plate though. Any help is desperately needed. Thanks

Something like this?

Most M1's are either Desert color or Nato 3-color camo. If you google for M1 Abrams images you might find something else. The Aussies have the M1 now too and they usually sport a nice camo.

Thanks Terry this bottom one is just what I am looking for...

Paul,

The bottom one has the same MERDC camouflage as the one above it EXCEPT it isn't an M1A1 (look at the 105mm versus 120mm cannon).

I saw this today on the way to work...not the M1A1, but the camo scheme on a humvee. Hey look at me, I'm a armor geek, I'm recognizing armor camo :geek

Actually the bottom pic is an M1. Both pics show NATO 3 color, not MERDC. MERDC was four colors which were chosen for specific climates/terrain.

Scary isn't Moon?
Saul, I was only referring to the way the colors fades,sorry I may have mislead you into thinking something else. I do appreciate the color shot but I was hoping for some idea of color fade and I didn't want to go just desert tan. Any more help would be greatly appreciated.
