Hello All,
Asked an intial question about using a two tone green (merdc) scheme on the Tamiya M-60-A3.
Now a follow up. I’ve found the colors for the merdc scheme, but there are 5 different greens listed. Field Drab FS # 30118, Olive Drab FS #34087, Light Green FS #34151, Dark Green FS #34102, and Forest Green FS #34079.
So, can anyone tell me which two would be correct for the two tone green scheme? Can more than just two specific greens be used?
Did a search for the merdc pattern and couldn’t find anything specific. Does anyone know where I can find the entire pattern (both sides, top, front, back)?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Not on an M60A3 tank, but this site shows the different MEDRC combos. I think you are talking about the Tropenlandschaft (site is in German, Tropical Land Scheme, I think). It has three greens and black.
Summer US & Europe-verdant uses 45% forest green, 45% light green, 5% sand and 5% black.
Tropics-verdant uses 45% forest green, 45% dark green, 5% Earth yellow and 5% black.
Information from US Army Training Circular TC 5-200 dated Aug 1975.
HeavyArty / Rob,
Thanks for the responses. I’m looking for the one that Rob described. The instructions call for the 5% sand and 5% black. Haven’tchecked out the site yet, but will get to it.
Thanks again for taking time to lend a helping hand.
Joe
