Product overview

A 3rd Generation acrylic paint set featuring the eight colors that are essential for reproducing MERDC (Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center) camouflage patterns applied to US Army vehicles from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.

Eight different patterns for use in various terrain and weather conditions were developed and all but one (Arctic White which was simply white overall) consisted of four colors: in theory, color no.1 and no.2 each covered 45% of vehicle’s surface, and color no.3 and no.4 each covered 5%. The profile guide on the rear side of the box shows examples of each multicolor pattern.

This set contains:

AK11342 Dark Green (FS34102).
AK11335 Light Green (FS34151).
AK11343 MERC Sand (FS30277).
AK11344 Field Drab (FS30118).
AK11337 Earth Yellow (FS30257).
AK11346 Forest Green (FS34079).
AK11338 Earth Red (FS30117).
AK11001 Insignia White (FS37875)

Notes · Q & A

What's the difference between a paint and a wash?

Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.

Can I use these paints in an airbrush?

Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.

Do I need a primer?

Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
