The acrylic paint set AK Interactive AK11653 3G MERDC CAMOUFLAGE COLORS 8x17 ml is a professional product intended for military modelers who want to faithfully recreate camouflage patterns used by the US Army during the crucial period of the Cold War. MERDC (Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center) is a special camouflage system developed in the USA, used on military vehicles from 1975-1985. This system was created in response to the need for maximum flexibility in concealing equipment in various terrain and climate conditions, from deserts, through forests, to snowy expanses. MERDC was widely used on vehicles such as the M60A1 Patton, M113, as well as on numerous trucks and armored personnel carriers during NATO exercises and US training operations.

The set includes eight precisely matched third-generation acrylic colors, which correspond perfectly to Federal Standard (FS) regulations, ensuring the accuracy of historical patterns on scale models in 1/72, 1/35, 1/48, or 1/16. These paints are based on the innovative 3G formula, combining high coverage, excellent adhesion, and convenient application with both brush and airbrush.
