Post by Maple-leaf-Warrior »

Hey, what color do you guys use for US vehicles in Desert Storm/ Iraqi Freedom? I'm heading to the model store today and I need some paint! :D

Thanks guys!

I like GHQ's UK Desert yellow. Not only does it look to me like the desert painted HMMWVs I've been around, but the GHQ desert paint has a texture to it similar to the paint used on modern military vehicles.
Its a sniper rifle, not a "sniper"! You don't call an assault rifle an "assault"!
