This Camo pattern works pretty well

Some really nice photos there

In photograph three, the camouflage is almost too effective. I nearly missed the tank.

A few more steps back and it vanishes.


Thanks guys, makes me want an airbrush even more now and to repaint some of my other models.

Yes, that Jagdpanther nearly disappears. Even on models, camouflage can be most effective, as Mr. Chef demonstrates here.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Last week I was priming some parts for a static 1/16 M198 155mm Howitzer model. The parts on their sprues were cast in desert camouflage colored plastic. Since the weather was freaky warm, I took the primer outside. Holding two primed parts on sticks in my mouth, I started on a third in my gloved hand. It was a long, slender stick-like part. And I dropped it amid the dried straw from last year's woodland plants. What could I do but go inside, hang up the parts that were, unh, lip-bound, and go right back out to fetch the part I dropped? RIGHT!: a long, slender, stick-like part in light tan dropped amid straw. I went from standing up, to kneeling, to crawling...
But by gum! I found that part inside an hour's time.

thats some cool photos

Thank you.

Cheesecloth with PVA glue and blended Tamiya XF paints.
