Tongde is releasing a Leclerc tank this spring. Sample productions models are on Youtube. I am overloaded with tanks NATO three color camo schemes. I see that the newer Leclerc versions have a unique pinkish tan overall color. Does anyone have an idea what would be a good color match with available paints? TIA.
Edit: I did find one suggestion online which identified the actual color as "Brun Terre de France", and thought that "Tamiya XF-92 yellow/brown DAK 1941" might be close. Any opinions?

Re: Modern French Tank Paint
Hello 
don't know if this can help you?
For more than 30 years, Army vehicles, tanks and containers have displayed the same camouflage in brown, green and black tones, known as “Central Europe”. On December 18, the 40th artillery regiment of Suippes received four standard 2.1 4x4 tactical vehicles (VT4s), wearing the new Brun Terre de France camouflage (ex-Coyotte).

Merci, Jofaur86! Your posts really helped, especially the second one. Looking at my inventory, Tamiya's XF-52 Flat Earth is really, really close, so that's what I will use as a base. I fight in club battles in Southern California, so the Central Europe scheme isn't ideal. Tans through browns are much more compatible.
