I have what may be a dumd question, I'm building (off and on) the Tamiya A26 and making it a Armour school vehicle. I was going to do the 3 color nato paint job but I'm burned out on it. I lost intrest in the build and just going to finish from what I have, long story short I have finish the model in nato green only. Would there have been any A26 in just this 1 color?

Two options, winter cam on it, add some white, seen some pics around. Second option lots of tree branches hide most of the black/brown?

Thanks for the info guys. I figured it was a long stretch on the German version. I already have most built with inserts in the vision ports so added any camo may be tricky. I do like the idea of the Canadian version, what about Danish? or is their any other country fielding the tank in only the green only?

The tree branch idea is a good one too.

Remember that the Canadian version is a Leo 2A6M, and they are coming back from re build painted in CARC green, with modifications done to them.

Denmark uses 2A5DK - not 2A6 - which is heavily modifiied and canouflaged green/black.

The only countries using 2A6 from the box - as depicted by Tamiya - are/were Germany, Poland, Finland, Portugal.

All of them are camouflaged in one way or another.
