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~
