German 3 Colour Camo introduction

[Niall]

I have a couple of question about the 1980's German army.

What date was the Green/Black/Brown camo design for vehicles introduced by the army. If after 1985 what colour(preferably Humbrol) was the basic green used before that time.

 

Thanks in advance for any answers.

I think I've found my own answer.

 

It seems the German army introduced the 3 colour scheme in 1985 with new vehicles being delivered in the colours from the factory. Older vehicles were repainted when given a major service or modernisation.
