Abrams Markings?
 
Having a little trouble finding markings. Suggestions, especially with photos or links, are appreciated

Nice paint job. I tried winter camo and kept getting overspray from one color to another. Had to go back to tan. going to see what I can do with that.

Were you painting free hand or using masks? I was trying a new (new for me, anyway) technique with paper masks on this one. I got mixed results but I think I could get much better with practice.

You'll have a much wider variety of markings to choose from if you go with the tan. Some of those guys can get pretty creative and I've seen some cool "tank art".

m1a1 abrams markings

I Google that phase and lots of images came up.

Yes, lots of images come up. How many are three color NATO paint schemes with visible markings? I saw just one when I tried the exact same phrase and that was a BFORS tank. But no worries, Paco sent me a photo that's perfect so I'll use that.

Nice. Ive been looking for pics to for a canadian leo 2a6. Most of the 2a6ms were used in Afghanistan and have that slant armour on it which i would have to build from scratch since i can only find 1/35 scale kits. But i did find a new peace keeping operations outfitted one. It looks nice and it also has a blade on the front of it.

Or i could go and make it an 2a4 which there are conversion kits for the 1/16 scale.

So many choices lol

I painted free hand, couldnt get the spray as small as I wanted to make good clean lines.
