Hello,

I'm looking to add some camouflage netting to an Spz2A1 model I'm building. The model is representing a vehicle from around 1983 painted in the overall green. What style of net was the Bundeswehr using at the time?

Thanks.

Here's a photo of a Leopard I, sporting camo netting. The label places it during Operation Reforger - 1983.
