Modern American equipment works from a fairly narrow palette that then repeats across dozens of vehicle and aircraft types. This group collects the dark greens and greys of standard finishes, the desert sand schemes and the supporting tones for stowage, tyres and crew kit, so a whole model can be covered from one shelf instead of being assembled shade by shade. One shelf of these tones covers a whole collection, because the same greens, greys and sand shades repeat from one modern type to the next: the machines are in military vehicle kits, and the dust, fuel staining and rubbed edges that stop a flat finish reading as bare plastic in weathering products.
