Thanks for the comments guys. I used the sniper camo netting from Dragon 1/12 figures. Try the ff:

and search for sniper category at the left bottom corner. It is the " Sniper Patrol Set" They only have the tan color left but it should not be a problem painting it..

Very good work on that ''Leopard 2-A-6!
Very Well Done..Little to much dirt Schem to it But still very good...Done by ''AirBursh? or Can ''Tamiya'' Sprays?.. Also Dose ''Tamiya'' Make those Nato-Colors in a Spray Can Rather then a Airbursh?.

Very nice! 
I really like the way the mud even has wet and dry spots. It even has the oil spatters on the turret roof and fuel spillage around the filler caps. Impressive.
You definitely did research on it!

Ben,
I used Tamiya Spray but the spray was quite wide and unrealistic without using masking tape for the patterns. A good airbrushh would be ideal. I still had to touch up some areas using paint brushes. That initially got me concerned and was also debating on how much weathering I should do. The following is a good reference:

As you can see even the washed and cleansed tanks still showed a lot of weathering, but look at the ones actually in the field!
I hope this helps.

The finish and weathering on that model is outstanding! If it werent for the background in the pics, it would be hard to tell that it wasnt the real thing.
Would you mind telling me where you got the packs and such that are in the turret basckets? I would like to add something like that to mine.

habu,
I got those plastic packs from toy section of Target. I am not sure of the brand but they were on clearance for $3.00. Toys are us have a similar line (extreme details?) but comes with figures.
