So for my scenario in say Dec 1943 742Btn had grey uniforms with pink piping?

Yeah there weren't many L43s compared to the L48, so I agree very unlikely.... ah well I'll keep the derp gun heavy metal. lol.

Ok.....also the uniforms were grey instead of black as well...I think

Actually, I have another question related to the StuG III Ausf G. I have a spare 'Lion Roar' L43 7.5 gun. I was thinking of changing the 105 for this 7.5. However the data I've read indicates that Ausf Gs were standard with the longer L48 7.5. Just wondering what the chances of one these L43s...

Ok so looks like 742 was in Finland training and then sent to Eastern Front, so a winter camo for 43/44 would look the goods I think. Thanks pal.

Geez Wojtek you're an armour expert as well!! Yes it's a StuG III with the 105mm. So is that an artillery abteilung? DO you know which division? I think the 105 StuGs came into service in early 1943?

Hey guys I have an StuH42 Ausf G and I'm looking at doing a new paint scheme. But since I don't know the unit, I have no idea where it served or when they used these vehicles. This is the emblem on the model. I have found a similar insignia on 9th Panzer Div but it's in yellow. ok cheers Francis

Yeah that's what caught my eye...very cool.

Oh boy so many options.... to my eyes the brown on the tail looks darker than under the canopy.... but different parts of an aircraft can be lit up by sunlight differently with varying angles of surface. So who knows.....Even the wings on those models have different patterns...and they don't...

Have you mixed the brown and green unintentionally? As you mentioned earlier that the ANR flag was on VM1 and then this was over painted with sand.

I found this model which used the Stormo pattern. So now I can also see the starboard pattern. I agree that the demarcation to the left of the 7 looks different in the photo, almost like a curve on the sand colour. But all other demarcations have straight lines and sharp angles so a curve looks...

Ok the plot thickens....... so at least it appears the Sword pattern looks fairly close to actual. However from what you have shown it looks like Sword have reversed the green and brown sections all over. On the photo, when you look at the section just to the upper left of the 7 it looks a touch...

Hey Wojtek, ah good work. After examining the photo I think the Sword scheme looks closest. In particular looking at the green/brown/tan convergence just left of the the 7. Also from that same convergence and the tail, I think also that the brown is showing up lighter shade than the green in the...

Hey guys, I'm looking at camo scheme for this bird from a Sword kit and came across a decal pack online (Stormo Decals) for the same but noticed the camo difference. The decal image only shows left hand fuselage. But I noticed pattern and colours are different in parts. Anyone have opinions on...

Oh ok, I misunderstood your previous reply, I thought you were saying the 451 Spits in that pic did not have Vokes, but you were saying they had an early version of the vokes?
