Wargames Spain - Flames of War

Luego hay algunos que les gusta meterles la banda blanca que -creo- llevaban los de la Guardia que a mi particularmente me encanta. Otros meten a los T34 un camo marron creo, tambien muy basico. zY si no quieres comerte mucho la cabeza puedes hasta pintaros de blanco con unos matices verdes y van "palante".
Eso si, no hay nada como Google imagenes para buscar "inspiracion"

Talking of decals and inspired by Battlefront’s exemplar, I wanted to paint my t34/85s with a white stripe around the turret. However, after further reading I’ve gone off the idea. For a start, I think it would be quite fiddly (I was going to use masking tape) and, secondly, outside of the fighting in Berlin I don’t think the white stripe featured prominently. I say this after reading Stephen Hamiliton’s (2008.25) ‘Bloody Streets: The Soviet Assault on Berlin’ where, citing a ShAEF report dated 21/04/45, he states:

‘Still believing they [the Soviets] would run into U.S. or British units along the way [to Berlin], Stavka agreed with Eisenhower that Soviet tanks should be painted with a white stripe around the turret and a white cross on the top. It has been suggested that this stripe was designed for recognition of Soviet tanks and SP guns during the street fighting in Berlin, but in reality [Hamilton proposes] it was to differentiate their vehicles from the Western Allies. Studies of late war photos of Russian armour depict no vehicles outside of the fighting for Berlin carrying the white stripe. By the end of April the Soviet tank recognition marking changed from the white stripe to a small triangle on the turret. This change was caused by Gertman Panzers in the 9. Armee painting their tanks with the Soviet recognition stripes in an attempt to fool the Soviets during their breakout West. Again, a study of late war Soviet photos show the small triangle marking on vehicles involved in the Berlin fighting but nowhere else.’

Interesting. Irrespective of the precise motivation, the absence of the white stripe of AFVs outside of Berlin is confirmed by the range of illustrations I’ve been able to locate of late-war T34/85 turrets:

Si, en realidad eres afortunado. Pero no me gustó el nuevo lavado de Citadel. Desde que mi Devlan Mud pasó a mejor vida (de hecho conservo el tarrito vacío como recuerdo T_T) he probado el Strong Tone de Army Painter y aunque no es lo mismo, me ha dado buenos resultados.
