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. |

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