Aloha everyone!!!

Can anyone inform me if the Hungarians have repainted their T-72's in the Nato three tone scheme or if they have any plans to do so.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,

No, apart from a temporary three-tone camouflage for an excercise/display.

We have a variety of single-tone green though:

I will try to look for a photo on the temporary one.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi!

Thank you much for the great reference and information. By looking at the most recent year in those photos the ones in 2012 would you say that the color used is the standard "russian" green? Because other photos seems almost like more of an Olive Drab color

Hi,

As far as I know it is still a mixed bag today...

This album has recent photos from excercises and shows many colors + you will find the three-tone camo as well:

I'll have to admit, the three tone camo on a T-72 does look interesting. The apparent lack of markings would also make this easy to reproduce.
