I have been thinking about building this version also. I have not seen any of these Syrian versions with cammo unlike the TOS-1A Buratino. I believe it is just the standard Russian green that has faded out and dusty, rocket tubes have had heavy use (scorched) and rear tubes I believe are just heavily dusted (look at the color match of the wheels and chassis. Hope this helps

Airborne markings on the door? I also assume the big tarp on top in the first picture is to cover the launcher when not in use?
