Okay, I'm getting closer. Thank's all. Tell me , does this make sense - A German Pzkw4/crew in the woods beside a road at night in the snow. Two of the crew working by shielded lantern light/flashlight on the engine, The other two sleeping under a camoflaged awning stretched from the turret behind the tank. The awning serves two purposes, cover from the snow, and a cover for the lantern that the working crew needs for the repair. My goal is to use fiber optics somehow, hence the lantern/flashlight and render a nighttime snow scene using German armor. Any suggestions on markings for the armor? Or anything else?

Sounds cool, I like the special affects idea and I think the layout will really be nice.

As far as markings, you can look into what units the IV's were in on Eastern Front I know they were at Kursk and I'm guessing Stalengrad too. Kursk was not snowy though, to early.

I've got a bunch of photos I'll check them tonight.

Panzer IVs were used all over and by almost every panzer division the Germans fielded. Your only constraint is which model you use. This will determine which year(s) you could place your dio, where, and which units. With four winters on the Russian front, two on the Italian front, and one in the West there are countless possibilities.

Unless it is a very relax scene I would not have sleeping soldiers. I would have sentires so it seems more desperate trying to repair the tank.
