NATO Black is one of the three colors adopted by NATO ground forces as a standardized camoflage. NATO green, brown and black were applied in a random pattern to tanks, trucks and APC's right up to ODS. You'll see this camo on Marine Corps M60A1's that weren't painted tan in Kuwait.

It's a really really really dark gray, almost say uh, black.

I use Nato Blk along with many shades of Blk in flat to gloss.it depends on what you want to do.I've used different Blks to bring out different parts that are all Blk.I hope that helps you.Thanks,Chris

Thanks....With Tamiya in short supply I was looking for a fill in for TS 6

The examples I've seen of NATO black on models show that it's an excellent choice for things like seats, vinyl tops, etc., that would look unrealistically rich black in gloss, semigloss or flat versions. It's not flat and it's not semigloss. I can't find it locally.

I use Nato black as Skip said, where a real black is too much. A muted shade looks more natural when scaling things down. I also like it for tires when painting tires is called for even though it leans a little toward the blue side. Drew Hierwarter has been preaching for decades that tires aren't black. The distributors on top are Nato while the carb base is semi matte black (both tamiya) I have 6 different blacks on this motor and it's not even a black motor.

Great info Sam!!
