I vote for MERDC
2nd choice Marine Green

 

[Elwenil]

I vote Desert Tan or if not that, I'd go with 3 color NATO, which is my favorite pattern.

We have a M60A1 that served with the Marines in Desert Storm. Left 60 in the picture. The one on the right is a M60 "slick".....no A status.

Marine Green. Seen to many in a camo pattern. There is one at the local VFW, its camo.

Most vehicles these days are either green CARC or camo...and to a lesser extent 686A tan CARC. MERDC camo would really be the best correct color in my opinion. I am not really familiar with the USMC specific paint and the years it was applied to vehicles. I thought that ended in the late 60s, but maybe I am wrong. If that is coect, an M60A3 would not have been correctly painted in specific USMC colors. I could be, and might be, wrong. Regardless, I KNOW MERDC was correct and I think the tank would look great repainted in these colors. I specifically like the scheme that is heavy in field drab like many of the vehicles that come out of WI for some reason.

EWA Marine:


+ 1 vote for the 686A tan scheme/Desert Shield/Desert Storm. It won't blend in to the Hawaii tropic background, much easier to touch up, more current then MERDC 4 color or solid green as regards operational useage. Just my worth. My deuce in the icon is 686A tan and was in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, so you may say that I'm partial, plus it's the last war we went over and kicked butt and then got out.....(personal opinion here, guys).
