while having my morning cup of coffe i was lucky enough to see a convoy from the local National Guard go by and remembered my phone at the last second and this is what i got…

figured with the trumpeter transporter kits out theses would make some good reference for a load for the modern haulers…the local gaurd here also has bobcats, d-6 and d-7 dozers, and ive seen the m-983 haulers and the new 4 axle m-916 trucks…all transporters are in nato tri camo and MOST equipment is carc tan but ive seen some that are tri camo or just straight nato green.

ok kit is on the way and i have trumeters HEMTT w trailer already so this is gonna happen! question though for everyone ive been struggling trying to find a good paint match for this shade of tan. I was looking at AK real colors but i cand figure out which sand color to go with. Any advice on this would be great! Oh and it’s definitely not their carc tan…looks way too pinkish i think compared to the photos.

It is painted standard CARC Tan. It is just picking up the red/pink/gold of the morning sun. CARC Tan changes hue in different lighting conditions.
