Hi to all. I'm quite new to this topic. I asked to vallejo, lifecolor and so on but it seems that no one know the correct color for the current italian military vehicles like Centauro, Ariete, VCC1, etc.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks to all.

Tamiya Olive Drab, Russian Armor Green, Bronze Green. These are only guesses. I think it allows for a little artist's perogative. Heck, painth one orange with purple flowers on it. It may not be accurrate, but it would be memorable.
