Isn't the Husky built in S Africa, if so would they not be going straight from there to any other customers.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

As far as I know, the US Army is still using either overall sand or NATO camo (and overall forest green for Strykers).  They could have been painted for export.

US Army Husky, new color?
Posted by Ti4019 on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 10:33 PM

Ive got the AFV club Husky Mk III kit. As Im not a armor modeler I bought it based on it having wheels vs tracks, and I had never seen one.  Well, now Ive seen three going down the insterestate, and the color was very different than all the other equipment I saw that same day. 

All the equipment I have seen on the intestate for the last several years is yellowish sand color.   I saw three of these things on the back of flatbed trucks, and they were a brown color.  Definitely not the yellow I see on equipment, including a couple of humvees I saw later on. Conditions on my drive were bright sunshine, little to no cloud cover, so it wasnt a case of the color shifting with a cloudy day. 

The AFV kit calls for FS33531 sand inside and out.  Has any one got input on what the US Army is using these days?  Or was I seeing some export version being delivered? 

thanks~
