My fist german's tanks. and fist time decals

Very nice

Good stuff, I do like how the dark yellow has come out.

A small suggestion, perhaps go with a darker green (although not as dark as the Brown/Violet you have in the back of the shot) - and apply it a slightly thinner/lighter (like the brown).

Excellent stuff !
Cheers - Phil

thnak you guys.thanks fred for the tip

Nice job.

Hi,

I alwways liked the Hetzer.

Yeah, Hetzer's are cute and that one's nicely painted.

From an aesthetic point of view I agree that a toned down green might look better, on the other hand crews often applied the paint themselves and so the "strength" of a paint must sometimes have depended on how much they had.

"Herr Major, there is more green paint than brown, should we requisition more?"

"Ach, thin down the brown and make it stretch!"

hahahah sure. didnt know that was the crew's job btw

Yes, the green and brown camo was generally crew applied (late '44 onwards there was more factory applied camouflage, especially the 'ambush' pattern with dots over the colours. But then there were less and less factories available to apply the paint!).

The crews got green and brown paint blocks - which needed making into paint locally, and applying locally. Some paint was made with water, other with petrol, and could be diluted to very different strengths, and would wear off at different rates. Also method of application could vary from spray guns at depots, to brushes, to improvised brushes in the field.  This does give a large degree of anything goes!

very interesting
