Current build is a Leopard 2A5. What is the correct color for the anti-lasing coating. Does it appear red as on US vehicles or a different color? Thanks.

Judging by some reference pics, the anti-laser coating is not as noticeable as the US AFVs one...

On a side note, AFV Club has released a sticker set for the HB Leopard 2A5 & A6 kits :

Thanks Frenchy. It is difficult to tell from the photos but judging from the AFV set it seems that it is a red coating.
