Got bored with Tri Color NATO Schemes and pondered what else I could do with a Leo 2A6. We know Finland bought up The Netherlands A6s. That camo struck me as a pain. If the Finns hadn't got them all, who else might be interested? With Venezuela becoming more and more unstable and their armor force being mostly a working museum, Colombia sounded logical. Camo is based on their H-60 Halcyon helicopters, substituting dark green for dark brown. Snow cleats were deleted, additional storage box on the front hull, air conditioner at the rear of the turret. Biggest mod was a locally produced gun mount for the loader's hatch to take an M2,.50 cal. (better at jungle busting than a 7.62mm. Other interesting note is the TC's Galil rifle next to his hatch.
