Decal Sheet Details
Scaled to fit 1-300/1-285 M1 tank skirts. This sheet contains multiples styles of Chevrons that were used over time and Service unit. There are sufficient markings for over 5 Battalion & HQ elements. Even included some barrel kill rings. The sheet is also available in White. U.S. Abrams chevron markings are genuinely varied, and the biggest mistake is assuming there was one Army-wide code where a particular chevron always meant the same company or platoon. The markings evolved over time and were frequently governed by division, brigade, battalion, or company SOPs rather than one permanent universal standard. Marine M1A1s add another layer of variation. That is why two perfectly authentic Abrams photographs can appear to contradict each other.
