hi
i was wondering if anyone had pictures of different germon armor paint schemes, or examples that i could use from models that others have done.

P.S. plz tell me how you painted it (with an airbrush,paint brushes, and what colors used).

thanks

Hey konigstiger, I find it easiest to use Tamiya colours, because they are widely available. if it's early war you want, base coat ( airbrush = easy and efficient) the German Grey colour. Then maybe deep green (crew applied in the field) over the top in lines/patches.
Late war was base XF-60 dark yellow, or testors Panzer Dunkelb, and crew applied camo of red-brown and deep green.
try this link, it's one of my favourites...

you'll need to go to the 'panzer profiles' link on the left. This site has HEAPS of pics and TONS of info. some are in colour, some are not.
another one (a link from prev site)...

Hope this is of help!
