Well, I have a few.

The first was taken at their tank training center I would that is about 100 miles NE of Melbourne.

That picture shown looks very familiar to me as one I posted originally when they got those tanks back in 2007.

As I'm sure you noticed opening the above, you're seeing most of what I did.

So, here's my thought on the matter, I believe for a period of a year or two as the shipments arrived it is possible some retained our desert colors until painted to the AUSCAMO scheme. So is it worth it to have them in the U.S. desert camo, I don't feel it necessary to do so.

That being said, the many pictures of the current AUSCAMO scheme would definitely support a little more of the desert color. Maybe just slightly widening out what you already have.

Regards,
Pat
