m1a2 OIF painting

I see testors makes "armor sand" and "US gulf armor sand"......I assume gulf armor sand is the best match?

Thanks for the replies

I am just working on my M1 as well. I was going to use tamiya acrylics, but decided against it. Model Master Acryl would give you the best match (and they are acrylics as well). There is, as kaleu suggested, desert sand, but even better, they actually manufacture an exact colour match: Marines Gulf sand, or something like that. It's an exact colour match to the desert paint used by the US. I've used that, and it looks absolutely great.

I think Dwight and Kaleu have already said it.

ModelMaster Desert Sand is a good color for OIF vehicles.

Welcome to FSM, donnico1.

As for me I have used Tamiya Dark Yellow acrylic paint with good results.

Good luck.
