VALLEJO - US Army Vehicles MERDC Desert Colors - Acrylic Paint Set (71212)

The AFV Color Series consists of a comprehensive collection of color sets designed to assist the modeller in all steps of painting the models of armoured and combat vehicles. The colors have been carefully developed to allow for a faithful reproduction of the historical shades of the colors used, following the norms, military nomenclatures and operational background. In the design of some of these sets we have been assisted by historical and military specialists adjoined to museums and historical societies.

In the 1970s, the US Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command (MERDC) developed a camouflage pattern color system for vehicles of the United States Army. This consisted of a color scheme of standardized patterns for each vehicle, to be used with twelve colors. This set includes all the tones needed to represent the Gray and Red Desert patterns.
