Normally i use tamiya, but on pieces with a lot of surface area (that surveillance port has a lot of surface to be covered for a small piece) it gets very expensive if you need 2 or 3 cans.
On the jungle one, i just used krylon Ultra Flat Camo Olive Drab, and krylon matte over it. the arctic was some krylon white primer, then white krylon fusion, then the end of a can of tamiya gray, I think it was a japanese naval color. There is a krylon Camo range for desert colors that i have seen people use but I can't find anywhere. Finding the camo sand color would make a lot of projects wayyyy cheaper for me.

Thanks for answering they look so great, I have used Krylon and wasnt satisfied with the end result. But these look like they just came off the factory floor! Really nice work here.
Maybe its the Matte I need. I am going to try and copy your Jungle piece it came out sooo well.

Nothing like a little color to bring new life into that surveillance port. Both color schemes make them look much better for the different environments that they would be used in. Thanks for sharing them with us!

Effective use of overspray to suggest snow on the radar dish, awesome! They all look very cool, but I am partial to the arctic one...get some white glue and baking soda and cake some snow on it...
