Painting of a M2A3 Bradley
Posted by Arespontus on Thursday, July 9, 2009 1:29 PM

Hello again

Another model I have on the go is a 1/72 Bradley.

I am using Tamiya Paints and the two I picked for the camoflage is

Flat earth and Deck tan.

If there is a more accurate choice for the desert camoflage I would really like to hear it

Thanks

Scott

I like Tamiya's Desert Yellow or Testor's US Army/Marine Gulf Armor Sand from the Model Masters product line.

Just my opinion though...I may be wrong.

On the bench:  AFV Club M730A1 Chaparral

On deck:  Tamiya Marder 1A2

In the hole:  Who knows what's next!

Hi Scott,

An M2A3 is unlikely to be any colour other than single-colour CARC Tan (FS 33531) (no secondary camouflage colours)

If you're amenable to paints other than Tamiya, the following are said to be matches for FS 33531

Humbrol 121 Light Stone
Gunze (Acrylic) H313 Yellow
Testors 1706 Sand 

For Tamiya, it will be a mix - I'd start somewhere around two parts Deck tan and one part Buff and work from there

I see them on they highway after the leave the factory in York. Always a single solid tan color, course most of our bradleys are likely headed to desert environments.
