Hello to everybody...

as I'm dealing with my T-64 BV-Я   http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,42683.msg739226.html#new I'm looking for a answer to the question ho does the camouflage in a nuclear poluted countryside might look like.
I saw a plenty of films about nuclear winter - but some pictures from Chernobyl show a fally forest in spring... and as the scenario took place in 31.Dec.1983 it will be fall at all. The radiation send out by reproducing EMPs killes the trees and the unprotected softtargets. There might be some fires and ashes is flying arround.

Here a first scetch:



or the gGDR-based dash-or-nodash camouflage:



So the maincolour might be brown to the trees and fauna, grey to the ash,


Edit: Or some blank hospital white/green highpolish camouflage easier to decontaminate?
What do you think about a German U-boat Schickgrau (mud-grey) with light brown, dark brown and black spots/tips on it?

Nuclear winter is a nuclear holocaust/armageddon/apocalypse scenario.

Anything less & there will be local, short-term effects from the blasts (not seen at Chernobyl) then a return to normality with longer term radiation effects on local genetics.

Camo would probably remain standard in any localised event & be pretty pointless in a large-scale event.

However, if you need a post-nuclear-apocalypse camo, the 1st one, done large (big areas of grey & brown, with narrow strips of green & the snowflake/ash dots), would be a good bet.
