vallejo is not really good for afv model..

in th e70' years th eleopard wa sin green nato colour ..in 1980' the german sfhifted to nato green base wiht stripe of black and darkbrown..
th emomentic shema must be cover the 70% of the afv superface..

the era would be 1979-1984 when they first came off the assembly line.
not the Gulf war era. so for the M1A1 would be single green tone, the Leopard2 I think would have a two-tone camo. no? that's what I was asking about for both tanks a single color for the M1 and 2 tone for the Leopard2
of course if no such camo was available for the Leopard then whatever was correct for that period will work as well. Thanks

Must have been good cos I never saw one of them painted up like that.
No, my visit was short and to look at the wall etc and drink with the east Berlin border guards. Nice bunch

Here´s some good stuff, look under Articles. Berlin Brigade Urban Paint Scheme:-)
