Hi Gang,
I found in one of my books some pics of an experimatal urban camo pattern from 2002.

Could be an alternative to the "NATO" pattern for Tiger Models VBL and AMX-10RCR.
Maybe our French friends can get us some deeper insight.

Looks like a rehash of the old Berlin Brigade urban camo.

or a small step towards "digi-cam"
(lots and lots and lots of infernal little squares ...)
I like the camouflage coveralls in one of the pictures though ... looks like the clothes I use when painting the house ....

All I wait now is who win the "VBL Battle" Tiger Models or HobbyBoss?

AMX-10RC in "Camouflage urbain" scheme :




You can notice how effective it is in front of a village house

H.P.

I think there were photos by the late Yves Debay in one of the Assault softcover books from Concord.

Cheers,

Christophe

Very cool, indeed! Any clues on the colors used?

According to the link at the beginning...

"The camouflage consists of a square-shaped surface with 3-tone gray ochre and sand
This painting washable was applied upon the traditional Nato camo "

I checked with my color range and found some matches.
All Life Color range
Blue Grey: UA145 FS35237 French Bluegrey
Light Grey: UA026 FS36375 Light Ghost Grey
Ochre: LC15 FS33245 Matt Tan
Yellow: UA305 FS30257 Earth Yellow

If you have ever seen any of the Philippines Marine Corps armor you will see there is a good bit of it in a urban camo just like this.
