Hi!

While looking for a cool camo scheme for my JSU-152 I found this pic. Does anybody if this camo scheme was used during WW2 or do you think it´s just some random paint job applied afterwards?

I also found a really nice PDF containing a LOT of surviving exemples of this beautiful beast. You find it here: http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_ISU122_152.pdf It took a while to download, but it was worth the wait

Hard to say, but probably it's postwar fantazy. Which city is that?

Here is a nice cammo, probably made from "organised" German paint depot

Glade you liked the pdf Joey

Thanks Raimondas.

I don´t know in which city it´s located. In the pdf it just says "Unknown location." However there´s a link to some sort of web gallery in russian where the pic was found: http://abwer.moifoto.ru/65383/f1263680 Maybe someone that understand russian can figure it out?

Yeah, I´ve seen these pics before... They´re nice... However I´m looking for a spray painted camo that doesn´t require a lot of masking I recently did a Panther F with a hard edge camo and it was very time consuming to do all the masking... I want something simpler this time...

Fortunately, I haven't forgot my Russian Looked into that site. It is from Izyaslav town in Khmelnitskaya region of Ukraine.

The same tank in 1980:

Jesper - Thanks for posting this. Interesting to see how many of the vehicles don't have nearly as much track sag as we modelers tend to give them.

Andreas Larka says Suomis captured two "Zveroboys" on summer 1944, one of which was lost in couple of days and another sent for overhaul and used as recovery vehicle. It seems it was repainted in Finnish tricolor cammo scheme according to regulations acting during that period. These should have been Sammaleenvihreä (moss green), Harmaa (grey), Hiekanruskea (sand brown). I am not sure about corresponding model paint colors.

More info on http://www.andreaslarka.net/ps745001/ps745001.html and Google

Thanks again Raimondas... You´ve been very helpful

According to your info I guess I can use the color of this "sturmi" stug as a reference. The colors seems to correspond to your info. According to the andreaslarka site the color of this vehicle have been chosen by som experts: "The colour-shades used have been developed according to the research done by Esa Muikku & Jukka Purhonen and are as close to the war-time colours as you can get with modern paint"

* Edit I changed the picture... It wasn´t the right one first *
