Are there any good sites or books to painting various NATO nations vehicle camoflagues? Between Team Yankee and Micro Armor I'm going to be painting US, West Germans, Dutch, Canadians, and French circa 1985. I plan on doing NATO Three Color for US and West Germans, but I'm not sure what to paint the French, Dutch, or Canadians. |

As far as I know the French would be green up until the late 80s. Painting mine at the moment for 1979. This site has a lot of good info. tanks-encyclopedia.com |

FYI, My best friend Steve was an Engineer up in the north FRG back in the early 80s. I have some of his pics and all of the West German vehicles were the standard green. Not camo'd…I'm looking at them right now ;) |

I left Germany late 85, I do not remember seeing German vehicles in anything other than plain green. Not saying that 3 colour was not used but I never saw it. |

Like with the US forces, the BW repainting process was quite slow. Newly manufactured Leo 2s were painted at the factory (though production started before 3 color camo, so Gelboliv Leo 2s existed). Pretty much everything else had to repainted piecemeal. Softskins would have had the lowest priority |
