The NVA (East German Army) colors are listed here (page in German): http://www.panzerfreund.de/forum/jgs_portal.php?id=59. The base color for all their schemes is RAL6003 green.

Just a roofhatch / manhole, theres two of them, one for the commander and one for the back seats behind the driver. No special gun mounts there, and I doubt the thin sheetmetal roof would appreciate one either ;)

Looks good, where did you get the lower suspension bracket? I got used on hitting my head on the ceiling on fast bumps by now, but maybe I allow myself the luxury of a lower seat some day too :)

That's the Tatra 817: https://www.google.com/search?q=tatra+817

VIN is on the right side of the center tube between 2nd and 3rd axle. Engine Number is on the front side on the left (thus right when looking at it from the front ;) ) of the engine, at the height where the oil filler tube connects to the crank housing, and the second fuel filter is located. It...

Yeah, the 3 connectors at the rear wont work: Yellow (was actually blue on mine) is brake command, red is brake supply with the one-way valve, and the 3rd one (mounted slightly lower) is for connecting single-hose trailers (an old system). For the front connections, directly behind the front...

Dont buy MAN for offroading. MAN is nice for high speed "semi offroad" / "unpaved", but its not an offroad vehicle. Tatra is. Then, a MAN 4x4 uses the same amount of diesel as a Tatra 813 8x8. Tatra has the 7-seat 4 door cab, MAN has a 4-seat 2 door cab. Spare parts for Tatra are a lot cheaper...
