Today, only a third world force in a fort. I am thinking the Philippines, Manila Bay.
I could not resist the 3-D print for two of them. Hopefully I will find the other one. I will look.

Dirty Abrams, I might need to clean them up now looking at them close up.

Should’ve put South Korean armor here, opps.
Not sure if I finished the MERDC on these.

Nice work Chris!

At one point I was considering the use of magnets on my bridges so that I could have the stowed on the vehicle, and then deploy them. Turned out to be a great idea with poor execution!

Mike, that happens from concept to final production. I my case, just painting tires is an issue that requires re-re-painting.

Foxbat, the above are K1A1, in MERDC, which is a/the camo S.Korea uses.
I do have K2 in 3-tone NATO for Poland. IIRC, they may have about 300+/- K2 tanks.

Ooops... I failed the recognition test then! :lol: Nice work any ways!
Your VBCIs look good, they seem huge next to the UAF BTR. We also have a new camo scheme for our armor

I must say I like the old 3 tones NATO livery better.

Nice work, Chris!

Foxbat, when did the new paint jobs go into effect? I googled a little bit and I also see a camo pattern called scorpion? Totally caught me of guard! I feel so vulnerable!

Are the uniform patterns changing as well, or just the vehicle colors?

Oh, Chris, I'm not asking you anything of the sort. Keep the old 3 tones camo, it looks so much better. Just don't attack yet, I'm trying to cause an uprising here so that we revert to the old paint scheme. :lol:

Ok, Foxbat, I am with ya on this.
Reminds my of the time NV Army fired their 152mm battery at a U.S. BB off the coast of Vietnam. The BB was hit, messing up the paint some. The BB returned fire lowering the hilltop by about a foot. An export sent a message to the BB, “ temper, temper.”
