Nice, though I do admit to having trouble picking out the Fawn colour.

I'd love to see a vehicle done up in a scheme with a tan, a brown and a green
to give more contrast (not what one is necessarily looking for in camo, but it
would illustrate things a bit more clearly).

Anyway, I appreciate the picture and the advice. I'm going to try this on my 4
Gauntlets, as soon as I decide on a colour scheme. It'd sure speed
up the painting on 30+ unpainted vehicles....

However, I was wondering if you could provide specific info on the decal sheet
used. I've found Maltese Crosses from WW1 planes, but never anything that
would work on anything other
than NSL FT ships or 1/285th scale tanks.
Never any one big enough to fit on a 25mm vehicle. I really like that and
would love to have some for my NSL. If you could help me locate the right
sheets, I'd be thankful.

Sweet work Allan!:)

Tomb.

You *do* want contrast in camo--you want the camo "edges" to override
visual effect of the actual edges.
