japanses futuristic main battle tank model kits from the 80s

Here are some photos of the tanks I took in 19 at Fort Drum, New York. I am not sure when the 86th Brigade transitioned from the M48A5. The Vermont's brigade (86th Brigade) became a part of 26th Infantry Division later in 1986. I left the unit in 1986 when I received an active duty commission, but was told that the 50th Armor Division transitioned to the M60A3TTS in eary 1989. They were used in the late 70s and early 80s until replaced by the M60A3TTS. The 2nd ID tanks did have the complete set of markings while the tanks were is use in Korea. That was one or two for the entire company. The only tanks that carried markings were the few at the various armories at the unit home stations. They used them for less than two weeks and returned them to the equipment concentration site. They were a draw fleet and whatever unit showed up, drew whatever tanks they needed. As far as markings, the tanks at Drum didn't have any markings. The tanks were painted in the standard 4-color MERDC scheme. I also did a summer AT with a NJARNG unit at Fort Drum that was in the 50th as well and used an M48A5 too. I was in the Vermont Army National Guard and the unit was a part of the 50th Armor Division. I commanded an M48A5 one summer at Fort Drum. Wondering if anyone here has come across any interesting 1980s or 1970s US Army schemes or markings for this tank? Surely there are some more complete and more exciting schemes? If you Google 'US Army M48A5,' almost nothing comes up, other than a few photos of generic ones in parks today, in generic camo, no vehicle markings.which inspires me to build it as a 'forgotten tank of the Cold War.' I'm dissapointed in Dragon- they usually offer complete and interesting markings, but for this kit, they fell down on the decals- the paint schemes in the instructions are one from the 50th Armored Division, NJ ARNG, in 3 or 4 color camo- but with no decals whatsoever, no tactical or vehicle markings on it- which is hard to believe- or a 2ND ID one stationed in the ROK in the 1970s, in 'Olive Drab,' with the only decals small, WWII style white stars and circles on the turret- no individual vehicle markings whatsoever on the tank, which seems hard to believe. They were used from about 1978 to the 1990s, by the US Army 2nd ID in the ROK, and, in the ZI, by ARNG and Army Reserve units.

Hey! I see that Dragon has released an interesting 1/35 M48A5, which is an M48 Patton with an 105mm gun, the last of the M48 line.
