Review by Peter Brown

---

Tank subjects included are -

• A plain green Leopard 2A4 of 43(NL) Tank Battalion named CATWEAZEL at the 1991 Canadian Army Trophy gunnery competition. This had the rear grille painted in red, white and blue bands and carried a cartoon marking for Charlie Eskedron with a cow’s head symbol
• NATO-scheme Leopard 2A5 green/brown/black tank of 11(NL) Tank Battalion
• NATO-scheme Leopard 2A5 of 11(NL) Tank Battalion in SFOR service with unit badge
• NATO-scheme Leopard 2A5 of 11(NL) Tank Battalion
• NATO-scheme Leopard 2A6 of 101(NL) Tank Battalion Regiment Huzaren Prinz Alexander with unit shield

YPR-765 subjects are -

• Plain blue KONINKLIJKE MARECHAUSSEE vehicle with shielded machine gun
• Plain white vehicle in UN service in Bosnia with shielded machine gun
• NATO-scheme turreted vehicle of 42(NL) BVE in SFOR service with unit badges

Included but not illustrated are red cross markings for an ambulance variant.

As with previous sheets this sheet is of excellent quality with clear well printed markings with good colour register and very thin carrier film that is cropped close to the edge of the printed image and each vehicle has decals for its own registration number, name and code letters. Instructions include colour photos and drawings showing the camouflage schemes showing placement.

As a double bonus, this sheet comes with a smaller Generic Dutch AFV markings sheet which has national marking bars, serials numbers and lettering in three styles and tactical signs in black and white, plus various lettering combinations for KFOR, SFOR and ISAF peace missions. This has many items which could be used for other vehicles and nations, it is available separately as T35005sup

Lots of variety here, another very highly recommended set
