My latest A1 - 11TH ACR Border Patrol Jeep

Unread post by SNOOPY » September 15th, 2013, 3:50 am

I finished it yesterday based on the picture below. I realize I may have to change the size of the hood numbers...
Thanks to the forum members who contributed in finding the necessary color scheme information!
I will look better once I put the top and doors on.

That's what I thought. I was also thinking that they might have been installed for legal purposes.

Snoopy,
it's a beautiful paint job. Where did you get the color scheme? Is it one of the MERDC 4-color patterns?

Hi guys,

I got the info from forum member HENDRIK.
This is a link to where I git the cammo scheme from - it was tested by 7TH ARMY units in Germany during the 70's and is called MASSTER (Modern Army Sensor Systems Test).
MERDC only became the standard after these tests.

Thanks!
