David,
I still haven't decided. Mainly just wanted to make mine a little different than all the others on the table. The kit comes with the Hustler markings and every buildup I have seen has used those. Devil's Deside (desire?) and Down & Darty (dirty?) look interesting but I am leaning towards Beowolf or Bertha. I am not sure.
How about a vote.
Which do you think I should make?

That's awesome!

But now that you have 10 different variations, which one are you going to pick? Or did you already have a specific unit in mind?

Hey guys,
Talk about great customer service. I had sent this question back to MYK and Mr. Yamada responded with the following.

Now, it may not be color profiles but it does get the job done.
Thanks all for your support.

I've ridden enough of these things to know what each decal is for, but the individual crew markings like kill marks would be based on where the actual crew puts them.

You might try a search for the armor units and then narrow to M1 and Desert Storm. You can actually chat with former crews and they will give you the most accurate info as to how thier tanks were marked, 2ndAD, 3rd AD, 3rd ID etc.

All,
I just received the MYK-Design decals for my Revell 1/72 kit but need help.
the set only comes with instructions for 6 vehicles when there are decals for 9-10 and to make things worse, they are printed so small, I can't tell what is used on several of them.
Searching the net brings up lots of pics of the tank in OIF but not much useful from DS. The books I have are from either before DS or don't have much on the tank.
Someone told me the Osprey book might be helpful but I haven't been able to locate one in town yet.
This is a link to the an image of the decals

Does anyone have any info on these vehicles or know where I can track said data down?
