has been watching some documentaries lately set in the Western Desert, and was inspired to create this...
The assignment was to paint these tanks for wargaming Operation Barbarossa in 1941.
In comparing the photos to the actual models, it strikes me that the two-color paint scheme is more subtle in real life. In the photos, the edges of the lighter-colored blotches are clear - in real life, they are indistinct.
(The gun looks a bit crooked... I hope that's not one of my repair jobs...)
As was true with yesterday's Showcase article, my camera sometimes sees greys as blue-greys. However, there is no blue on the actual models.
Carl chose to leave the turrets loose, which makes it possible to position the turret - or remove it.
