                        Sorry, can't help out with acrylics. I don't like them and don't use them at all. I assume that Testors MM has an equivelant color in Acrylics though.
                        Sorry I can't help more.

                        I use Testors Model Master Enamel Sand, FS# 33531, for all my US desert camo vehicles. Once weathered, they match the vehicle I have served on in Iraq and stateside perfectly. For M1A2 referance photos, do a Google Image search for M1A2. The result is 28 pages worth of photos which link to even more.

                        Tom I've got that Tamiya paint. I also have a bottle of Model Master Acryl's US Army/Marines Gulf AR # 4812. It looks pretty accurate, more so than Tamiya.

                        I use model master acrylic Desert Sand on the recommendation of several members of this board who are in the Army/Marines and have "field tested" it on the actual thing. They said it was dead on

                        What color would I use for a "Desert Storm" Abrams tank?As far as for using Tamiya acrilic paints.Is it called "Desert Yellow"?
                        And is there any good places on the web that has good photos of Abram tanks?
