Hello Guys,

I got the Meng's M1A2 TUSK kit on my shelf. I would like to know if there were any M1A2 Tusk versions in Nato Camo. Mostly I found reference pictures showing M1A1 Tusk versions in Nato Camo on the Middle East.
I am wondering if I have to buy another kit Meng M1A1 or Ryfield M1A1/M1A2 in order to build a correct Abrams in Nato Camo. I am not sure about if M1A2 Tusk ever used with this Nato scheme.

Thanks Guys!

No, at the time M1A2s were using TUSK, Iraq through about '09, M1A2s were only found in overall sand. The first M1A2s to be in NATO camo were only a couple years ago in Korea and then Europe and they are M1A2 SEP v2s. TUSK is only added when in combat, not on training deployments.
