On the Picoarmor website "NATO Cold War Infantry" is listed under "Minor Mations". First time I've seen NATO regarded as a bit player. |

I dunno – the only planes I've ever seen in NATO markings are ostensibly from Luxembourg

And they're based in Hungary, IIRC |

Well minor is as minor does

At the risk of stating the obvious: The NATO infantry are listed as "minor nations", since they represent those countries not already covered in one of the *other* modern ranges for PicoArmor – ie. WARPAC, USA, UK, Germany, France, Israel, etc. |

As Bishnak wrote
Also they can represent many different NATO armies (Danish, German, etc.), so we've decided to not put them under one country label. Marcin Oddzial Osmy |

Quite frankly if you can tell the difference at that scale your eyes are better than mine. |
