Great work on the camoflage and the kit!
I like the digital-variants. They have an other optical effect than the standard-camo´s.

Excellent finish ! I'll be really interested in your digicamo technique. It looks like you first applied some color patches then only you used Tamiya masking tape. Am I right ?
But why is there such a difference in the dark green shade between the intermediate and the final pictures?

Yes, but for sure I will write step by step how I did it:
Producer has given a plan of patches of camouflage, in 35 scale so I copied it and I could use it to made masks in correct shape from Tamiyia tape:
At first I painted sandy patches:
Next I applied previously prepared masks:
And I repeated these steps with bright green...:
...and with dark green:
Next I painted medium green and I removed masks. Camouflage redy, then was washes etc.

simply superb. You have inspired me to give it a try. The only critique i have is that the sand color you used looks much lighter and tanner than on the photo of the real vehicles. Perhaps keep this in mind on a future attempt?

Decals, excellent quality by the way, very thin.
Thanks friends for the good words!
