Hi guys hope u all had a great weekend? I'm in need of some expert guidance please, im currently preparing myself to build a 1/16 trumpeter T34/85 but i want to do it in the Finnish army cammo scheme, but for the life of me i cant seem to find any reference to the colors used (preferably life color) or the patterns in which it is layed onto the tank? And markings? I have the elite armor decal set but the instructions don't tell me anything. Any and all guidance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers heaps Blake

You might have better luck asking here http://www.pienoismallit.net They're a helpful bunch and speak enough English for the most part. And for reference http://www.andreaslarka.net/ is a good place to start if you want to go whole hog with details.

A good example of what the colours and pattern should look like (sort of, it's a 76mm version) can be seen here http://www.andreaslarka.net/ps231001/ps231001.html
