I did see in a recent forum thread someone who had done that, but I don't recall which one. Would probably need to use printable decal paper for this I would think, although if you could get wrapping tissue through a print that might work well too.

Applying dampened newspaper is clearly an expedient and reasonably effective approach to "whitening" your dark vehicle for immediate winter operations.

I would suggest that the modern Russian vehicles - all of which are likely photo'd in training operations - could be telling us something...

Perhaps the modern Russians have actually taken up the idea of really TRAINING crews to be a bit opportunistic and to solve problems as they occur with the available means? To be more ADAPTIVE?

Some kind of Russo-Soviet "austerity campaign", perhaps? Hey! It saves time having to paint and strip white paint or whitewash on and off, doesn't it..?
