What color is an Abrams’ sand camo?
Well…It’s desert sand. IIRC, ModelMaster, Tamiya, Polly Scale etc. all have desert sand available in their paint lines.
Tamiya has Desert yellow availible but I have never seen a paint called desert sand. just a guess but these two colors are the same.
Tankbuild,
For my Abrams, I used Testor’s Model Master #2136 US Gulf Armor Sand.
Model Master “US Army/Marines Sand” #2136 is a good one.
Also, Tamiya “Desert Yellow” #XF-59 is a near identical match for the color of the plastic the Tamiya kits “M60A1 w/ Reactive Armor” #35157, “M2A2” #35152. and M1A1 #35156 come in. Just to give you an idea.
Will Tamiya Desert Yellow do for a Challenger in Iraq also ?
Poly Scale has #505364 U.S. Desert Storm Sand
