Hi everyone, I am currently working on a T-62M for Georgia. My question is about tank below and its color. I am having trouble figuring out what color it is, the turret appears green but the rear is obviously a buff color, I'm not sure if it is dirt either because the way the writing looks on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess is the graffti on it is fresh, and just done over the dirt. I would vote for green.

I agree with Jesse, it's green..

I think (not sure about this), it is a Georgian T-62M, but the graffiti on it is Russian not Georgian, so the writings must be done over the dirt..

That was actually my next question, whether or not it was Georgian, I didn't know if the Georgians had T-62Ms. I've just recently started looking into the Chechnya and Georgia conflicts.

Georgian or not, this tank looks very damaged and abandoned, it's very obvious that the graffiti done over the dirt..

Tank looks in a fine state to me. I doubt this vehicle is abandoned, theres just some open hatches and a bit of clutter on the fenders.
