Roy, I can vouch for having seen a 1S32 in this scheme, but I cannot directly find my picture of it: http://www.armyrecognition.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2110

Another of a museum piece (Careful of authenticity): http://photo.higginsoft.com/keyword/russian/1/50009541_thqhG#50009541_thqhG

Nothing to do with reality.
Thus, this painting has never existed Krug system.
Moreover, these specimens exhibited a non-Russian countries are also set out.
This is the USA.
Roy asked what painting version of the rules in (instruction book) transform the model form, not camouflage paint.
War situation, so that the vehicles should have regular wet paint, powder paints, a brush (preferably disc-shaped brush).
The spots form, the form was not fixed (as successful), only the proportion, distribution on the surface.

thanks for the links ,the 1st link great pictures of the s300 system vehicles,isnt that camo awsome ,these vehicles im going to start to scratch build soon.
i have also seen the pat hand painted in a similar camo but again it was outside a museum and looked to be retro rather than factual.
the second link is just wrong again a museum piece.but thanks any how the s300 pics were cool

If you want to go with what can be proven right now...only green in Russia.

But, if you will go with a little faith, you can be more creative as the photos show. There is more "diversity" of paint schemes in Russia than with just museums. Trans-Siberia units tended to have some color to break up the boredom, so I have been told. This would be different from European Russia in that there would be far fewer pictures and far fewer chances for western intel to see them.

I am sure that the Russian/Soviet Army was not the solid green monolith that it would seem, but until possible photos emerge, deviance from that will require some bravery...
