Hello Ralph, thank you for your great photos and articles in several books, very useful to do some models.

I can't help you because I'm a color-blind person but someone told me that the colors are the same than the USMC Marpat desert.

Dear Alex,

thank you very much for your kind words. I just finished a book about the ATF Dingo 2 versions inlcuding the latest ATF Dingo 2 GE A3.1 and A3.3. In the future I will work besides others on books about the GTK Boxer and the Fennek.

I tried some colours yesterday for the CARPAT and ended up with

Vallejo 71011 for the base colour
Vallejo 71022, 71002 and 71028 for the light green
Tamiya XF-68 for the brown

Kind regards,
Ralph

I believed you talked about the desert version of the CADPAT.

Thank you for the informations. I hope you will post some photos of your figure(s) !
