Hey all,
I need some suggestions on a camo scheme for my German E-100 superheavy tank. I was thinking maybe ambush scheme for lack of a better inspiration. Help me out here trackheads!

Well, I have 4 thoughts in decending order of realism ( admittedly anything E-100 is a bit unrealistic)
#1 redbrown primer overall with bands of dk green and dk yellow
#2 overall dark green with soft edged bands (clouds) of dark yellow
#3 overall dark yellow with hard edged 'splinters' of red brown and dark green like the Viking (?) panthers in Poland. Alternately the leopard spotted overall yellow with blobs of red brown circled in green from LAAH in Paris (?) I'm away from my references at the moment.
#4 the overall green with yellow 'leopard' spots ( bigger spots than ambush) that Tony Greenland did on his Panther II ( or was it a Panther F?)
Mine is 75% done , having added tools ala the King Tiger and spare IR gear from a Tamiya Panter Steelwheels and Stg44 barrels from the mg bulges. I'm going with a combo of 2 and 4 for mine. Sorry, I don't have any pics yet.

Hey Grifter
Take a look at this site here
If you look half way down, there are some examples of camoflauge used on the Maus Super Heavy Tank.
Good luck,
Andrew
