Unit Insignia Mods


Recommended Posts

After seeing a wartime photo of a Stug IV with the markings of a Panzer company in the 116th Panzer Division, I got to wondering how to best replicate such markings in CMAK vehicle mods.

How were the markings applied to tanks in the Panzer divisions - were stencils used for pictograph markings, or was the painting done free-hand? That is, would one find a lot of variation between the markings applied to Panzers in the same outfit? Also, was there a color convention used for applying pictograph markings - white on ambush camo, black on winter white, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

yes - in general black or red on white and ordnance tan (dark yellow), white or yellow on "panzer grey"
