Nothing seriously wrong with your English
The 'i' should be upper case 'I' (referring to yourself)
and wonna should have been wanna or want to.
Perfectly understandable (even if I can not answer the
actual question ...). Your English is probably better
than my French or Flemish

Hi Randy,

Actually the correct camo for tanks in Greek Army service, including Leo 2A4, is 4-colours scheme:

Forest Green + Field Drab + Sand + Black

It is very similar to the US MERDC for US & Europe scheme with hard edges, for your reference.

Of course, other fellows more expert can make comment.

Regards

Giovanni

Are there any reference photos out there for Greek 2A4's? I saw a couple of them at Thun but by the time I had taken a few pics of the display tanks the 2A4's had parked in the tank barns.

Thanks,
Jim

D'oh, I must be getting old...I saw SWISS Leopards at Thun, Greece was a different holiday! That's what I get for posting before morning coffee...
Nevertheless, Greek, Swiss, it's all good for Leopard lovers.

Thanks,
Jim
