Does anyone have a template for the NATO three color camo for the M-88A2 Hercules?

I have the pattern for the M-88A1:

But can't seem to find a reference for the A2.....

Thanks....

Hi all,

my photos show that the pattern is similar but not the same. The pattern is drawn down to the sideskirts and not so much meandering.

That's really kind'a, sort'a what I'm looking for- I figured the A2 pattern was close to the A1 but was interested in the pattern on the skirts.....

I read this so fast this morning I mixed up that you were looking for the A2 pattern.

A start...
