Royohboy Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 View File US Army MERDC Camouflage Pattern Skin Pack MERDC is the camouflage scheme used by the US military from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s, and before the introduction of the current 3-tone pattern NATO pattern. There were several regional and seasonal MERDC variations, of which I have included the two commonly seen in Germany back then. If you'd like your WWIII to take place at a time when the F-15 was brand-spanking new, when everybody was scared of an all-out nuclear war, and when practically every F-16 model kit featured either prototype or pre-production aircraft, this one is for you. These skins are subject to the Combat Ace Fair-Use Policy; thy may not be used for payware. Submitter Royohboy Submitted 01/12/2009 Category Ground Objects Mods Quote
BattlerBritain Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Wow - this is really good. And it makes a great reference for painting GHQ tanks as well :) Cheers Dood. Quote
Royohboy Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 You mean you paint 1/285th scale tanks in MERDC pattern? I found it tedious in 1/87th already... However, as a reference I'd rather use http://www.panzerbaer.de/, or google the vehicle-name + MERDC in Google image search, and use the very detailed b/w schematic drawings that often come up (and from which most of these skins are derived; taking shortcuts, though). I would especially advise against using the M1 Abrams skin as a reference, as I haven't been able to find any camouflage plan at all for that one. Quote
BattlerBritain Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah - MERDC at 1/285th can be fun. I think I got that link to MERDC patterns. There was a good discussion over at the GHQ forums on modern US colours at http://www.ghqmodels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2835 WW2 German patterns can be fun as well. Here's one I prepared earlier: Enjoy! Quote
