It's high time to start preparations to White-Wahsed campaign.
All details on the campaign you'll find HERE.
Campaign's gallery is HERE.
I encourage you to start your building blog as this may result with being asked for writing feature article for Armorama.
Jesper (SGTJKJ) was so kind and created four banners for the campaign:


Feel free to ask me if you have any questions or doubts on White-Whashed.
Have fun!

Below you'll find links to articles about winter camos. I won't put link only "How to.." but also about purposes and method of masking vehicle for winter.
I'll try to update these links as often as possible. Of course you favourites links are welcomed too.

Hi Sancar,
It would be nice to see your progress photos but I prefer participants to upload only finished models to campaign's gallery. In build pics you could place on one of free file hosters. I use Photobucket.com and you can choose from many others.

I am in for this one. I will build the old Tamiya Leopard 1A4 in German winter camouflage. I had this one in my stash for quite some time and it will be a nice stroll down memory lane making one of these old Tamiya kits with poly caps for the whells and everything
I will try to finish my L-39 Albatros for a campaign on Aeroscale before I start on my Leopard 1A4 for this campaign from the start of October.

That should be fun. I have 2x Dragon Pzkfw III ausf. M ready which I want on some winter setting. Hope to get at least one of them finished before the end of the campaign.

In preparation for thecampaign start in little more than a week I have done little research on my subject (Leopard 1 A4). I have come around this picture in one of my books.
An all green Leopard 1 with partially white wash and some interesting mud weathering to go with it. I have not decided yet if I want to make the mud weathering to go along with the white wash or if I want to make the white wash a worn as in the picture.

Anyway, I am planning to base my model loosely on this picture. I will not make this specific vehicle but one in the same style.

Now the hunt goes on for even more Leopard 1 A4 in German service with white wash. Any pictures or links for helping out in my research are highly appreciated

Little chance of plans. My entre won't be a Pzkfw III but a Pzkfw IV. I've got the Tamiya ausf.H kit ready and I ordered some Fruil ostketten and an alu barrel. Should be fun

With Baseball coaching over for the year, I've been anxious to get focused on modeling again and this Campaign is a great way to get back into it. I've got a 1/35 Tamiya Tiger I (Mid), Eduard barrel & PE set, WW II Production tracks and a couple figures to go into a diorama based around this photo;

There are many photos of captured tanks in winter camo.

I reckon a Sherman should grace these snowy shores...
Maybe my current build, the Tamiya M4a3, or Tamiya M4 previously built but unfinished...

I was digging and found both a dragon king tiger with zim and a T34/76 that I was never happy with the paint and didn't finish either of them and moved on to other projects. I may have to break out the easy-off and start over, both are nice kits that have been scrunched in the boxes for a while now. I've gotten a lot better at finishing them and do kinda have the urge to dirty up another Russian sled
