Ahh. I understand now. just very used to the instant time of other similar forums.
The artistic licence is one that many chose to 'drive without' so to speak.
All the pictures and reference material now so readily available still leave room for an on the day-at the time style of interpreation.
Its easy to overlook that as AFV's became tactically obscelete, they still had uses in many forms.
I assume the winter look is in the offing ?

HI Herman
Soon I will post some pics of the unit in the ambush camo. Maybe you guys can help me decide whether or not to throw white wash all over it.
I've grown fond of the way it looks at the moment.
pics soon
Cheers
KG

As promised here is the berg in ambush. Question now becomes do I cover most of this up with a white wash and then remove the wash to give it an end of the 44/45 winter look?
I kinda like it as is but as is it won't really go with the winter tracks nor the winter tank riders I have for the inside.
ah dilemma dilemma!!??
Cheers
KG

I think it's to good a camo to cover in white wash Gra

I think I would have to agree Kevin, that paint just looks too good to cover.

J.H. C. mate, its perfect.
BUT...............if you want the best of both worlds, you could coat the front with well worn WW and leave the rest. The support machines would have been lucky at that stage of the conflict to be given priority on what stock of manufactured or pilfered WW/paint was available...........most are seen in Russia earlier on in a mish-mash of WW, snow & mud camo.
It sucks to you right now mate, with that finish after all this time..................my advice is
Youre on your own !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Herman....
It is going to get a generous mud treatment and coupled with the stowage there may not be much camo visible in any case.
Cheers

Never posted any pics of the stowage & tools detail so here are a few...
The open case will feature some Panzerschrek rockets and there will be a panzerschrek equipped soldier - so yes the old berg is still being worked on.....
