RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Here's an indoor profile pic. Outdoor pics and vid later in the general section. Used Crayola water washable poster paint. Big tube only $1.99 - Enough for at least a dozen tank camo jobs.
Don't know yet if it leaves stains....

Decided that this tank was done in the field with a couple buckets of thin, almost frozen whitewash, with brooms and rags that were available. Crew had 20 minutes to slap it on and didn't waste any time....back to war....

See "King Tiger with Firing Cannon" in Tamiya Builds section for pics and video.

The Crayola paint worked very well. Don't know yet if it will eventually leavea stain.

looks good

nice, yep thats the way , slap it on

You use chalk ground to a fine powder, a makeup type brosh, and some water, wet your brush load it with chalk apply it to the tank,let dry add more if unhappy with the results,i did this with a jadgpanther and a kv-1 and a tiger I had good results ,it has been removed from my jadg, there is a picture on http://www.rcuniverse" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .com januarys NEAD tank battle.

Or did they ever just use white camo net/tarps for winter camo?
The tan/green/brown looks out of place in the snow....
Thanks,

I would use some painted rolls of gauze to make some winter camo netting. I made some summer camo netting for my HL type 90 yesterday.
