Hello, This is some work i did on 15mm PSC Stug's. Looks very good from about 2-3 feet distance. Can i please have a confirmation from anyone that this is indeed appropriate camo for 1942-1943 Eastern Front? I did some research but a reassurance would be nice. :)

The three colour camo was introduced from spring 1943, in early 1943 you might see some vehicles in panzer grey with dunkelgelb overspray until fully repainted late that year. 1942 is panzer grey all the way (apart from a few Afrika Korps vehicles sent to Russia in sand). The Stug IIIg with saukopf, cupola chin, remote mg etc is a late war vehicle (post October/November 1943) anyway so the camo scheme is fine for that vehicle. |

If you wash that with some Tudor Poly-satin MINWAX, it will pick up all the shades and lines, really makes them pop.
NIce work. |

@ Martin Rapier: Thank you for the insight. Very informative. :) @ Grossman: Yes, i intend to wash them again as i think the previous wash was too thin. Thanks! |

Yes, you can't beat a dark brown wash over dunkelgelb. Here are my PSC Stugs: link |
