Fictional vehicle, but is the camo pattern fictional too?  If not, what's it called?

Doesn't look like it's based on much other than a variation of the splinter camo seen on many LW planes. Usually that's 2 colors but sometimes they've added more.

Looks like what was on the AJ37 Viggen except in browns instead of greens.

Interesting comment. I was only thinking from a WW2 Luftwaffe aspect, but you're right it kind of does resemeble some stuff from later years. Even the recent MiGs and whatnot kind of have a similar modern splinter pattern.

Looks like German WWI lozenge stuff. I think it was also used on tanks, looking for pics.

It reminds me of Dazzle Camouflage (the worlds biggest art project ever)
