Will come back from time to time on this one.(main focus on the Steyr 1500A from the Kursk campaign for now)


Greetings,Ron.
 
Looks great but sorry to say that the Bovine Centre striped Camo pattern wasn't introduced until much later,...udder than that it looks awesome :D
 
looks like the VP netting :)
Looking good Ron :)


Mats,Bob;
It looks like the Verlinden mesh wire,but it isn't.

Think it is just some piece of wrapping material for chocolate mints or other candy that I've found many years ago on the street.
Someone's garbage is some other guy's usefull stuff! :)

I've seen somewhere on the net a Panther tank with mesh wire on the gun barrel(could be France in 1944).On several pictures of late war German armor you can see foliage on the gun barrel,it could be held in place with camo netting or chicken wire and/or normal wire.


Greetings,Ron.
 
It's been a while,so here is a small bit on the 88mm PAK gun again.

First of all,here's a pic I've found on the Net showing a Panther tank with Chicken Wire wrapped around it's barrel.The wire was used to cling foliage around it for camouflage use.
The wire and the use of camo nets will be a benefit for using natural materials like tree branches,leaves,grass and so on...for camo purpose.

Adding some camo net with colored strips of newspaper (hessian material).
