Hi all.
I got a few , actually 3, questions that is of "outmost" importance to me at the moment so i turn to the almighty collective knowledge of my fellow hobbyists.

First one:
Im planing on making a dio based on the Suez crisis during the cold war and the dio includes a british Centurion tansk and a few demolished buildings. What i need is pics/references on British Centuriontank camo during the Suez crisis.

Second one:
East German Army (NVA) t-72 colours on those stationed in East Berlin .

And last but not least:
Swedish markings for the Leopard 2A6 tanks.
Have only been able to find Dutch markings ( when did they get Leopards:P?)

Thanks in advance /

Cheers,

Chris

Sorry, I can only help you with your last question. I guess you mean Strv 122 and not Leopard 2A6. To my knowledge you guys modified the Leo 2A5, and Echelon got a couple of decal sheets for Swedish Strv 122.

And Holland had Leopards long before Sweden...

Some small black and white photos of Centurions in Suez can be found
here: Suez Centurions

That's all I could find on google (centurion+suez).

I don't think there were camoflage patterns used on the Centurian in the 50's or the T-72 in the 70's. I think the centurian was sort of a tan / khaki color and the T-72 I would go with the Russia Armor Green
