Turkish Leopard 2A4 color scheme

I am wanting to paint a Hobbyboss Leopard 2A4 in Turkish camo scheme. I have seen the exterior pattern but were these tanks delivered in Nato green (lower hull) or Desert yellow?

Looks like overall sand with a dash of Dark Green.

Italeri’s kit has the colors and decals for Turkish A4s.

The first Leopard 2A4TU were delivered 2007 in NATO Standard camouflage, according to “Kampfpanzer Leopard 2 International”, Tankograd Publishing, page 258. They had no markings other than turkish licence plates. The national insignia on the turret was most likely added later.

The Turks painted them a yellow ochre color with the small “stripe” of green on the sides. It is not anything close to a tan, and if you can download the Italeri instructions they give the Italeri color for it. You can also find the color in the Lifecolor Line or MRP Lacquers.
