Hello Everyone!
I am currently thinking about how to paint my A2. I want it to be in MERDC. However, according to the books and also some original cars I found the base green is very light.
But were there different greens used? I prefer to have the whole camo rather dark like in the picture attached.

Re: MERDC Paint different base color
OTB.... the correct green is Forest Green Fed Std 34079. There are other greens such as the one used in the 3-color pattern but 34079 is correct for MERDC. But it's your vehicle, you can paint it whatever shade you likeon-to-berlin wrote: according to the books and also some original cars I found the base green is very light.

Keep in mind that in that picture everything is covered with mud.

Re: MERDC Paint different base color
So maybe that is an option. Restore it then simply drive it in the next mud pudle

Re: MERDC Paint different base color
Not all the schemes use the same base. That M151 looks like it has the Gray Desert scheme.
