There's some pretty camo schemes there. The problem with most is that they totally ignore one of the basic principles of camo: disrupting the shape of whatever you are trying to camouflage.
Heee I did three,but are inspired by aircraft... ;D http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,30741.0.html

Missed this thread. Didn't we have a group build suggestion for civilian vehicles in military service?

An advertisement for the Triumph Spitfire MkIII had it painted in WWII RAF Camo.

One of the AF Viper display teams has a Dodge Viper convertible done up as a Lawn Dart, similar to the P-47'd Viper.
I've a part built Lindberg 24th scale Triumph GT (coupe version of the SPitfire) that'll be going in PRU Blue eventually.
I started this but ran out of steam due to other projects.

It's a gun truck having to do with my story "The Tractors Wars: Battle For A free Kansas" I'm putting out on facebook in a group named "Tractor Wars".
Feel free to browse thru or download it.
I know from a 1980ies real world Ford Fiesta which had been owned by a book author who had published a very good and detailed book about German WWI/II tank camouflage - and he had his private car painted in "Ambush/Hinterhalt" colors (pale sand, olive green and red brown)...

What I Would Not Wish on My Worst Enemy smart car would not even need an rpg to take it out
Nothing wrong with a Smart if you're after a city runabout. Not much cop on a motorway, but it's not designed for that.

Where the hecks that fully tracked Mr Softee from ??? ;D
That one's photoshopped, Chris
It's from the Photoshop custom garage - bloody fine idea though! ;D
You could imagine a bunch of dirty, miserable-looking refugee urchins cowering in a basement, listening to the ominous engine roar and squeaking and clanking sounds as a tracked AFV aproaches their hiding place, closer and closer..... then it stops. Then there's a hydraulic sound, such as might be made, for example, by large armoured side flaps opening. Another ominous silence, then....
.....a plinkety-plonkety version of Greensleeves....
The kids faces light up and they run outside to greet the humanitarians of the Red Cone Society, bringing frozen, fruity relief to a war zone near you.... ;D :thumbsup:

Cheers Harro, now you've told me I can see it...just :blink:
I had a similar idea as you Weaver ;D
So who is going to build one?
Gondor
Here are some 1/48 scale ground vehicles I built just a few years ago, the VW and Steyr are what ifs in non standard camo.
