"Leopard Factory IR resistant (Olive?) Green" Also what colours are being used in Afganistan if different
would be nice too. Thanks |

IIRC, the Leopard 2A6s are painted in standard NATO tricolour, while the LAV-IIIs are painted in a Medium Green colour (Testors Medium Green/Vallejo Russian Green/Tamiya NATO Green are close matches for this colour). I know on earlier deployments, the Coyotes were painted in a desert sand colour (Vallejo Iraqi Sand), but I'm not too sure about other vehicles. Make sure that you give every vehicle a good coating of dust. Out of curiousity, what models are you using for LAV-IIIs? |

At this stage I'm building elements of 4th & 5th Brigades, 1st Canadian Mech Div late 80's. Mainly using C-in-C and GHQ but will have some Scotia and Skytrex to fill in the gaps. When (/if) I do the LAV's it will probably be C-in-C to match the AVGP's and Leopards I have already. My question re Afghanistan was more general interest than a plan to do a desert version. My planned Mid'East army is going to be Jordan in the 1980's with various additions to play 73 onwards. |

The 'Leopard Green' was the standard Bundeswehr camouflage colour 'Gelbgrun' or 'Yellow-Green'. |

My apologies – that colour is correctly described as 'Gelboliv' or Yellow-Olive. |

Leopard 1 went to the stan in flat army green factory colour with no cam paint. |
