The colors are to much faded away , i was on visit at munster this year and all the bundeswehr vehicles a bright 3 tone camo mostly ... but love my cheetah ... no hurry

Originaly itvwas a 70's gepard stored on cellar until rene converted it into a cheetah , its a clean forwarded build
Busy on the fenders stepups , cutted them out etc pics come later

The Cheetah is the Dutch version of the Gepard. Originally it was called the CA1 but the nickname Cheetah painted on the first operational CA1 stuck. It differs in radar suite and other minor details. The Dutch version has a more capable and expensive radar suite. It can be identified by its bar type search radar and more pointed tracking radar. Most Cheetahs were upgraded with the ability to fire FAPDS-T rounds.
