Default Camouflage of vehicles [Mechanical vehicle camouflage disruptive painting]

Found this interesting .

Looks like the US army within Australia had some input relating to painting camouflage on vehicles in the SWPA . I wonder if any of the camouflage schemes depicted in this particular US army document ( pages 21 to 33 ) were actually used !

Oh, that’s a good find. I think I need to buy another kit of an M3 medium tank, just to paint that camouflage onto it
