The green is the mouse house Aussie green, they make a specific Aussie set, enamel. Closed for 6 months however. The sand I mixed myself to match my leopard, built before I had their paints, started with Tamika flesh add some deck tan, black is tamia NATO black

An interesting story, but short answer Verlinden, but be careful they do/did 48th and 35th. Its how I ended up on this website and made a great mate as well. Was searching and found someone on this website, which I didn't know existed, and joined, contacted him and he was prepared to sell to me. Then he found me a second set so good to go. Addicted to this place now and we correspond daily, and lives in same town, small world.

Alas, Verlinden is out of business. I heard, not necessarily from a reliable source, that all their molds were destroyed. There are still some pieces in inventory at various online stores, for now.

Album info
This is my take on the Tillie, M-548, Tracked Load Carrier, circa 2000. The vehicles have fuel bladders and a pump arrangement instead of Jerry Cans to increase the speed of refuelling.
It is an amalgam of features seen around this time on TLC of Mech Bn or 1 Armd Regt
