Longbow Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Going to have to fiddle with the contrast and silver tone filters, to get a better perception, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 When you compare the two pics how the hell can anyone be certain what the actual colours were. No wonder people argue over different shades of colour for armour i don't think anyone could ever be 100% correct 🤔 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) This is an early Stug III G preserved by a swamp in Russia. It’s in the factory Tropen scheme, as the Tigers of Das Reich and GD would have been painted at Kharkov.

I think only Dragon make a version of these. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
