Wannted Tri Color camo !

Post by Spartan tracks »

Guys I've hit a bit of a mental wall,I want to do a Tri color camo Western front but can't decide on what scheme , The Net is a big place and I've looked everywhere ,on here,Tank ,Encyclopedia, etc etc .
I just can't make a decision, The damage is all done and base coat I just need some inspiration or some ideas, NOT EASTERN FRONT as the metal one behind is for that cheers Andy

Just make up your own, that's what I've always done. Sure I may look at pics to get an idea but they never come out matching.

Are you stuck on colors too or just the pattern?

Yes I had the same dilemma, my Tiger was already grey, so instead of a complete change I thought if in the real world of combat a tank crew given new orders and camouflage paint wouldn't do a complete repaint just use new paint to increase the effectiveness. Your camouflage looks great and authentic as I've seen it in the camouflage guidelines, I guess it's just what you want and like, I look at my Tiger sometimes and think hmm nah other times I think it's great, it's tricky this rc tank lark :)

Google search and click images?

I have hundreds of books but normally pick a random one of the Google Image search I like.

Can't beat a good tiger book though!
