Heya, Folks,

I've seen some cool examples of geometric shaped --- triangles, vees, straight lines --- camo on late-war "Panzer 46" German armor models... Not the swooshes or organic silly putty contours characteristic of typical camo patterns ---these are all hard-edged lines and shapes.

I'm trying to find as many examples as I can or on-line references if they exist, but I don't know if examples of such camo schemes ever existed in real life (or were ever photographed if they did) or whether they are purely examples of extrapolation and imagination.

Like I said, these schemes look way cool and I'd like to give one a try.

As always, many thanks for the help!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

The Concord Armor at War series (#7006) "Panther" published in 1996 shows a colour plate on p.36. It portrays a "splinter pattern" on an ausf. G, purpoted to be in Poland, 1944. I've also seen Stug's with similar finishes. Strangely enough an actual photo of a similar vehicle is said to be Vyskov, Czechoslovakia. The turret no. "215" is painted directly over a large stowage of spare tracks. HTH.
