Well I have managed to track down a Amusing Hobby Panzer VII Lowe. I will be soon starting it and likely doing a build thread. But, any way I was wondering if you guys had a pics of your WWII German camo schemes to give some ideas for this bad a** tank. All your Pictures will be much appreciated.

Since its a "what if" tank, give it a "what if" camo job.

Actually I like some of the proper later German camo schemes - they seemed to get quite creative towards the end, especially stuff like King Tiger "octopus" paint job.

How about an urban combat scheme based on white / grey / black - can't recall seeing that done on anything I've looked at since I recently became a born again modeller.

Why not have a look at some aircraft patterns, the WW1 german lozenge types are pretty intresting.

I challenge you to paint a "brick-work" pattern to make it disappear into the city landscape

If you want to keep it close to late-war camo, check out Ammo of Mig's Late war paint colors. They have color plates on the back of a few samples of late war camo

After reading this post I was inspired to go and get of my own - here's my take on it. Only done the turret at the moment.



Still very much work in progress.

I keep coming back time from time to see if you have posted any pictures. Will be good to see what you come up with. My scheme was sort of inspired by I dare to do a brick work style scheme comment someone made.
