AK Interactive 3G MERDC Camouflage Colors
Product Info
AK Interactive 3G MERDC Camouflage Colors is an acrylic paint set created for painting U.S. military vehicles and equipment using the MERDC camouflage system. Produced by AK Interactive, this set provides the correct colour palette used by the U.S. Army during the Cold War era. It’s designed for modelers who want historically accurate camouflage patterns without trial-and-error colour matching.
Background
MERDC, developed by the Mobility Equipment Research and Design Command, was a standardized camouflage system introduced in the 1970s. It used specific colour combinations tailored to different environments such as forest, desert, and winter terrain. Applied to tanks, APCs, and support vehicles, MERDC marked a transitional period between single-colour finishes and later NATO camouflage schemes.
What’s Included
This set includes a curated selection of AK Interactive 3G acrylic paints matched to the official MERDC camouflage colours used on U.S. military vehicles. All paints are supplied in dropper bottles for controlled application and consistent results.
Components
AK Interactive 3G paints are water-based acrylics with a smooth matte finish, suitable for brush painting or airbrushing with minimal thinning. They are compatible with other acrylic paint ranges and work well across common scales, from 28mm gaming vehicles to larger scale armour models. The paints are ready to use straight from the bottle.
