Paulo,
Looks great! Can't wait to see your article. I hope you are including a brief history of the tank as I am unfamiliar with it's origins etc. Is it based off the Challanger or Leopard?
Thanks,
Jim

I have never seen any pictures of the Osorio with any other camo other than the overall sand, but there is a build up of the kit
here with one mad looking paint scheme. I have no idea if the Exercito Brasileiro has any EE-T1s in that paint scheme though. Maybe Paulo can help us with more reference.

The Osorio seems like a cross between a Centurion and a Leopard. I found some pictures here....

Nice Paulo, was it a lot of work making the Trumpeter kit into a fair representation of the actual MBT, or was it an OOB job?

Hi there!
Jim, I did some reference background on the article, I think you gonna like it!
Steve, actually was some other paint schemes, its model was a prototype, so every potencial country interested in buying it had the tank painted as a supposed painted scheme for its force, but the overall sand participated on tests on Saudi Arabia, there were some camo versions for the brazilian army and even one for the west german army....you could see it on the article coming...
Rob, this model is pretty good OOB, but I added a few details and corrected others....
And thanks for the kind words! I'll put another pics along with the article, wait and see!
Cheers!

This one looks great, too. I just love funny camo schemes... Paulo, what do you think of this one? Have you ever seen something like that in real life?

Mario,
As a matter of fact I did!
It´s paint scheme is something like the brazilian army, and also the scheme found when the German Prime Minister went in a visit to Brazil....
It really existed!
Cheers!

Maybe Jim can add it to the Glossary of Terms? That question keeps coming up.
