The great variety of interesting camo schemes is one of the fun things about putting together an early-war French force.

Different scale, different approach, same goals in mind …


H39s in 6mm scale.


Same technique of using a marking pen to outline the camo, but the pen needs to be fine-point, and the lines still come out a bit heavier than one might prefer…

….and French camo makes a very welcome change after all that boring German Panzer Grey

french camo is a bit … french (?)

basically, each manufacturer used a camo scheme ( and often many camo scheme ) for each vehicle …

and some units artists produced their own …

a good source is :
Peinture de Guerre ( and it's a bilingual edition )
