I've been look all over for any pictures of a Panzer IV H in winter Camo. I've had no luck so far, if any one has any ideas please let me know.
Hi! I could fix you up with a pic of a Pz IV F1 in wintercamo, but that's the closest. The sites containing pics have all let me down recently, so you might want to wait for other members like Christian to respond. They have quite a collection sometimes. But if you want me to upload the other one , the F1, just tell me. Good luck! PP
That would be a good start. I've look all over the Internet and the only picture i could even find of a panzer IV in Winter was of the turret. Im really just looking for weathering detail on the Russian front. I would like to see what you have thou. Thanks
Hi -DMPN- Founderer, I found some more whitewashed tankpics, one of a hummel and one of a tiger. Whitewashing was pretty much thesame over all tanks, so you can just see how it's done here and copy/apply that to your model. I'm going to do so on a nashorn myself. It's going to be just awesome! Good luck and have fun modelling! PanzerProfile
So basically, i paint the body and pretty much everything German grey then weather it a little, then dry brush white on top, then weather a little more??? By the way thanks for the picture.
As you can tell by the pics,a crude looking white-wash is the most accurate.White-wash was nowhere near as permanant as paint.It wore off very easily.Anything spilled on it like oil,fuel,mud,etc....would show up very clearly.
I also recommend using a small brush to apply a thinned down whit paint.This will add lots of detail.
Hi try this website it has a nice photo of panzer 4 in winter camo http://www.panzermc.cz/vstup.htm It is in polish though
Now i wish i could speak Polish. . . why would a Polish web site what to glorify war in pictures, i guess i cant read it thou and they might not be glorifying it. No one will ever know.
I totally agree. My suggestion would be to use a pencil that i'sn't totally drowned in paint, but only a little so it applies paint thinner. But this seems less accurate than just thinning your paint like mentioned earlier.
That picture proves our theory again; whitewash is only partly applied and weares off pretty soon. Thanks for the picture!
No problem Oh by the way I think an interesting thing to point out is that that panzer 4 in your picture is not whitewashed but rather they were chalk strokes
AFAK it was called the winterketten because it is only used in winter. and it is attatched to the original track by the standard pins. The ostketten is the track designed for use in the mud terrain in russian at anytime and they were attached to the tracks by longer pins. Also winterketten is really just a flat part, whilst the ostketten is shape more like a Tiger's track. So they usually cause confusions I have a good website on this, if only I could find it
Finally I found the site here it is Quoted from http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 6&start=60 Thanks
Ive had some pretty good luck applying the whitewash as a basecoat, then weathering and drybrushing with the "base colors" and lots of different shades or grey, also remember that white bedsheets were also popular as a snow camo measure
