GoofyStance Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
