enjoy 🙂
now this is great! I have a physical copy of the British version of this manual
There’s a reason you guys keep me around 😉
BoW Tankfest time!
Looking forward to this Vlog series. Hope we see some interesting schemes, as a German player I will enjoy your take on the late war camo shinanegins.
Will be spending the weekend at Warlord HQ next week doing a Bolt Action demo game. Will be a real struggle to avoid buying any plastic tank platoon sets to give Tank War a go.
Why struggle against the inevitable? 😉
*sigh*
I know, I know.
It’s just that I dare not count all the un-built 1/72 kits I have for my German panzer division(s) project to add to all the built stuff I already game with.
With a 28mm British 8th army that keeps growing as well, it probably is inevitable that more tanks ‘appear’ in the stash. Trouble is, 15mm moderns are starting to exert their Siren call as well. With the Derby worlds starting tomorrow and Warlord next weekend, four days in close proximity to shineys is going to leave my wallet screaming (and wifey darling as well, probably…)
I used VMA Brown Violet for all my US tanks
will keep an eye on how John progresses with the American colour scheme, it`ll help me out when i come to do mine and not forgetting the Germans.
@johnlyons, I wish I could send you guys some of the armor that is just sitting around my town. Here are some google street view pics of three of them. There are more, but I don’t know enough about tanks to ID them.
Ok, this was a little fun 🙂 The top image is an M75 APC. Took me a while to nail this one down as I’ve not seen them too often im pictures or up close.
The bottom two are both M48A3 Pattons
I’m having flashbacks to the “guess the AFV by the sound of the engine” post boot camp game
Let me know if you need close up pics for reference. They are all just sitting by the side of the road here.
I think you should go for a winter look, and white-wash all of them
nice.
My Grandfather was in the 761st Tank Battalion and their tanks where green with a black pattern and custom markings for names.
@johnlyons
According to Steve Zaloga’s books (Modelling the M4 Sherman [75mm and 76mm] by Osprey, the OD/black scheme was widely used by the US 2nd and 3rd Armoured division (7th Army?) especially during Operation Cobra, the breakout from Normandy in late July 1944. Alternatively, I have seen references to the US 1st Armoured using OD/Red earth in the ETO as well.
Whatever you go for, don’t forget the fabric air identification panel for a splash of colour. Originally measuring 12’x2′, they were often cut down to 6’x2′ and came in Yellow, Cerise, or Electric Blue.
