odd camouflage paintings...

[Wolf Werther]

I want to make a Yugoslav M84 (T72) model for a Kosovo diorama. While searching for camouflage schemes I found this one:

 

 

 

I guess if I paint my model like they painted their tank, the comment of everybody would be : NO, NEVER...

 

Maybe its just that "green" because it´s raining, or it is propaganda work. I should better use olivedrab.

Hey Wolf, you wanna see some really far out stuff, get the Concord book on the T-80. THere are tanks in yellow and purple cammo, I do not lie. Of course they are demostration vehicles, but still...

 

Also, there were unusual paint schemes when the russkies pulled out of Germany.

 

My guess is the tank is either a: painted up that way for use in training so it can be seen better, or b: the victim of a low paint budget so the crew had to paint it with whatever was on hand.

Model Railroader magazine used to have a regular little item about there being a prototype for everything. All too often, in competitions, you'd hear a judge say something like 'It could never happen'.. from 80' car-carriers hauled by a steam locomotive through welded rail next to a semaphore signal and so on, the magazine will put a picture of some such for the sake of proving people wrong....

I guess this T55 is even more disgusting.

Wolf, actualy green is more dark then it apears on pic and it a new VJ camo... Here is a pic of the M-84A from the same unit in same camo during fighting in southern Serbia last year:

 

 

There was a lot of experiments with various camoes (eg. somewhere on the net you can find Strela-1/Sa-9 in orange/brown/black/green camo... Look here for some other camoes VJ equipement: http://bojan92.dzaba.com/

No, it is my site, but it is also lousy free web hosting and sometimes it works sometimes not... If it does not work try downloading it with Getright or Download Accelerator... Link:
