Winter/arctic markings & colours (was Let It Snow thread)

[Taiidantomcat]

As discussed, moved to the Camo forum - there's just too much good stuff in here for it linger and disappear in the Knackers Yard

Well said!

Player tanks from Valkyria Chronicles 2...... not dedicated winter camo, but the splintered colours should offer reasonable effectiveness?

Here's a couple of shots I took of a BTR vehicle of some description:




I have to say I think that the blue/grey shade the Polish put on their CASA 295 fleet would actually work very well over a winter backdrop. Parts of it would probably all but disappear if it was flying over a snow covered area with shadows being thrown on it as shados on snow tend to have a blue tone to them. As you can see in the picture, it practically disappears into the sky background.

Here's a clip of the Czech air force's new CASA 295 in a winter backdrop.

It's wearing the standard Czech air force camo that's seen on Hinds, Hips, Turbolets and the outgoing Antonov AN-26. That camo is snappy enough on it's own merits, but that light grey carried onto the upper surfaces from the underside is probably pretty effective at breaking up the aircraft's outline over winter terrain.

I think it's an OT-64 skot

neat modelling, very nice indeed, what did you use for the whitewash camouflage and groundsnow effects?, looks realistic

Really, I didn't make this model because is a EASYModel I only make the painted process and finished.
I used a tamiya because after the paint all modell, I can retired the paint with a cottom wet in alcohol.
After I used bicarbonate with white glue, and bicarbonate to the base only for the foto.
Sorry for my poor english.

Dizzy, is that a House Steiner mailed fist I see on the front left?

[Dizzyfugu]

Certainly not, at least not intended at all. Could be that it is a German squadron badge, but BT has never been a benchmark for me, rather the anime originals (even though I must admit that this actually is a desert vehicle in the [Fang of the Sun] Dougram universe/TV series...).
