US Army Paint Set Orang

Standard colours of US Army vehicles from mid-1970s till mid-1980s

In early 1970s the Mobility Equipment Research & Design Command (MERDC) developed a new camouflage system for US Army vehicles - a set of camouflage patterns that could be adapted to various geographical and seasonal changes by changing one or two colours.

The new camouflage was tested and approved in 1975 and it was widely used by US Army until 1984 and introduction of the so-called "NATO scheme".

The most commonly used variants included "Winter Verdant" (typically used on vehicles based in Europe) and "Summer Verdant" (most commonly used on vehicles based in the United States).

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
