Just found this pic on army.mil. New paint for the Bradleys?
The same color like the Abrams?

Looks very similar to the brownish color that the new M1A2 SEP v3 Abrams tanks come out of the factory with…

You could be right.
Are there really currently 3 different color versions?

Yup, looks like a new M2A4 in the new two-tone green scheme.
Seems to be; sand, NATO camo, and above two-tone green.

Not a whole lot on the net on the two-tone brown/green camo yet.

Does anybody know that the new drab color is? Hopefully with a FS number…

Not sure these are actually in the two-tone green. I can only make out one color of overall dark green. Maybe they are repainted in the temporary green paint used in Europe for sand vehicles and it looks darker due to the overcast skies.
The M1A2 SEP v3s in this paint definitely have two-tones of green and it is easy to see the difference on them, even in overcast lighting.

Except that it’s not.
I do love the YETI sticker though.

OK, any more insight besides it’s not?

Plenty of insight. But I’m going to leave it to everyone’s own powers of observation. The answer is there in front of you.
As for why I no longer post much of my own photos to this or the SEP V3 thread - too many of my photos are getting sent to manufacturers as if they were property of the sender. And this little more than two weeks ago was the last instance,
It’s a shame that a very few people with no integrity have caused this. I love to share my photos. I’ve been back to Ft. Cervezas three times since I first posted the M1A2 SEP V3 photos back in 2021.
Unfortunately, the latest photos of anything will have to be found on my walk arounds. At least I can invisibly tag those using a little old skool SF technology to keep track of what gets sent to whom. Sadthat it had to come to that.

Got it, driver is wearing 3ID patch, Brad has MILES gear, article at army.mil says it is a readiness exercise at Hunter AAF for 3ID units (5-7 CAV). None of this addresses the color(s) on the Brad.

The horizontal surfaces on the Abrams look like standard CARC/NATO Green. But that dark drab color on the verticals sure looks to change colors depending upon the light… not quite Helo Drab or Olive Drab…
Fort Cervezas… 
I like that…

DEF Model has released a set of 3D printed T158I “Bigfoot” tracks with new sprockets and final drive covers. These will update the old Tamiya/Academy M2A2’s nicely. The tracks can also be used to backdate the Magic Factory M2A2 ODS-SA kit to an earlier US Army M2A2 ODS.

Oooooh! Nice!
Apparently you missed the thread a few weeks ago. There was a whole discussion about how they weren’t correct.
It explains the two styles, and which is correct for early/late.

But the early type now have the rivets, so aren’t these sets correct?
