"German Camo Schemes - Kursk/Normandy" Topic

I have been looking to put together two 15mm german forces. one for Normandy and the other for Kursk.

In looking at the Camo schemes for tanks/veichles it appears they are more or less the same with a base colour of dark yellow, with additional brown and green camo markings.

Is this largely correct?

Essentially yes, although some of the Normandy schemes were much neater as the crews had had an extra year to apply them.

But yes, dunkelgelb with green/red brown disruptive.

Did the camo at Kursk have the brown? Most models I've seen for Russia have only the green stripes/blotches.

Anything goes GK84. Just don't make the mistake of painting all tanks in similar patterns it seemed rarely to happen.

Unless you are modelling a documented unit and specific vehicles the only limit is your imagination and sense of what looks "right".

'Panzers in the Bocage' by Karl Berne (The Oliver Publishing Group) is a concise reference (32 pages and very well illustrated with illustrations and photographs).

Agreed, no such thing as a standardised camo pattern for German armour at this time.

This might be of help to:

I usually try to copy photos of schemes on specific vehicles so they aren't too outlandish.
