I'm loving it! I've always been a big fan of crafty camo. There's an old water treatment building not to far from here that they bricked up most of the windows on. They went back and painted fake windows over the block. Looks pretty convincing.

On a side note, I had heard that there was a dress up camo for the Tiger 1 to make it look like a truck. Anyone seen this? I'd be a great add on for a Tiger.

The British can do Sneaky as well,
Immediately before the Normandy invasion two pumping stations were built on the Isle Of Wight to boost fuel products through two pipelines under the English Channel to provide oil and Petrol for the Allied forces,
It was called "Operation PLUTO" (Pipe Line Under The Ocean),
The pumping stations were disguised as "Walls" Ice cream factories :haha: :haha:
