About German camouflaged uniforms...
Posted by Zero Enna on Wednesday, September 21, 2005 11:10 PM
Maybe this question have been made before, but here I go... Recently I've purchased two Italeri 1/35 kits: one is the BMW R75 & Zündapp KS 750 and the other is the BMW R75 with sidecar, in both kits there are a figure that must be painted with this camouflaged uniform (It comes with the R75 pieces)... I think even its helmet must be camouflaged... as this will be my first figure painting I want to know the most accurate colors for painting this camouflage and also want a "pattern" to follow... one thing else: the other figure's uniforms must be painted Medium Green... is that right?... maybe there is a German color... and about the non-camouflaged helmets... must them be painted Panzer Gray?... Thanks in advance.

I have the BMW R75 with sidecar, so I am guessing you are talking about the fig who is standing?

His helmet should not be camo. There is no mold on it that indicates the cloth cover that they wore on there helmets.

his camo smock should be painted the following method.

Dark yellow base coat
Camo blotches with Red brown and dark green
then add the spinters with some black green.

much like this


this is a luftwaffe camo smock.
