Back in Stock: Vallejo MERDC Camouflage Colors Set (Model Air Paints)
We're pleased to announce the return of a popular item for historical modelers and military enthusiasts: the Vallejo 71202 MERDC Camouflage Colors Set. This versatile set of eight Model Air paints is specifically designed for recreating the distinctive camouflage schemes used by the United States military during the Cold War era.
The MERDC (Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center) camouflage system was developed in the 1970s by the U.S. Army as a standardized painting guide for vehicles and equipment. Unlike fixed camouflage patterns, the MERDC system allowed for combinations of colors tailored to specific environments, such as woodland, desert, or snow. This approach gave the U.S. military greater adaptability in rapidly changing theaters of operation, and the schemes became iconic on Cold War-era tanks, trucks, and armored vehicles.
Vallejo’s high-quality acrylic airbrush paints in this set provide accurate tones for replicating these historic patterns, including colors like Field Drab, Sand, and Olive Green. Each 17ml bottle is pre-thinned for airbrush use and offers excellent coverage, fast drying, and durability.
Perfect for scale modelers working on Cold War U.S. military vehicles or anyone looking to expand their realistic paint arsenal, this set is now available again at Historia Emporium - The History Store.
