Nice work.
The interesting thing to me is that, at least in the US Army, all vehicles are supposed to have the same camouflage scheme for a given area. When we repainted our tanks in 2-37 armor, we had stencil's made and we chalked the pattern on the tanks, then sprayed.
Of course, when we did that, we were using the anti-chemical paint which is carcigenic, in the open, perhaps with (or without) face masks. When the 1ID repainted for Desert Storm, the painting was done by contractors in full protective suits, in a paint shed. since they were all painted tan, there wasn't any pattern.
At least we don't have to do that in1/285.

thanks to Guroburov and mike robel for nice comment

I think it is also same in S.korea. When i was service(14-16) at K-9 battery. Every 6 gun has identical scheme with minimum difference. I had no chance to paint them (cause i was normal VCO(FDC)) but i'm pretty sure similar system might exist other than us. But huge difference is that in S.korea army did all the paint not contractor. There is some kind of central maintenance center exist run by army.
Well problem is this was my first air brush painting camo. I have failed not only painting identical pattern but also left sufficient 'green' space. Thanks for good critic mike truly. And still i'm not US citizen, as ex-service man from allies, i'm truly thanks for your service.
