Im going to be building my first armor kit, a 1/35 Tamiya Gepard with the full Eduard PE set.
I’d like to do a more fun camo scheme then green or tan on it, so I figured why not do a WIF scheme.
I know there are some GREAT WW2 schemes, so I’d love to see your favorite ones!
Snow, desert,continental what have you, post away!
Thanks, Shawn the normally aircraft guy.

I’m not very familiar with modern schemes but the " Manny’s Rod " scheme described in the
<< Re: How to get your wife to agree to the purchase of a $229 plastic model kit >>
thread would be fun. [:D]
Failing that, the WWII German "Ambush " scheme is my favorite from WWII and the “digital” schemes so popular these days would be nice, but complex.

though not German camo, the Communist Chinese have some interesting digital camo on armor vehicles:

Maybe digital camo on your Revell 1/32 Me-110 C ? [;)]

your first couple links are 404 not found
I’ll check out the “Mannys Rod” scheme in that thread!
Lol, no way am I gonna digi my 110! I’ve put to much time into it making it correct to make a wif outta it.
It would look cool however.
Lets see if FSM server will allow this link:

If I were to build a piece of German armour, I’d be going with an ambush camo as well, it’s always seemed to be the most convincing one to me - and it just looks cool too!
I’ve always suspected somebody in the Reich camo development department was a frustrated , out of work “impressionist” painter.
… Adolf was an out of work artist at one point, look what happened there…
If only Earl Scheib had hired Adolf :

Ambush Scheme looks like fun!
Anyone make good red with white surround numbers for the turret?
don’t know how good , but they are listed as dry transfers.
Archer dry transfers # AR35038R
Did Verlinden make some wet transfer?

Thank you! Heard good things about their dry transfers, perfect chance to try them out!
I’m having trouble finding it, but on the Elefant, there was a cool “jigsaw puzzle” theme. It’s basically “pieces” of the puzzle all over the tank.
I also endorse the ambush scheme.
